No public transit — Cheorwon has no passenger rail service in this area and very limited local bus service; a car is the practical way to reach Goseokjeong. Regional buses run to Cheorwon's bus terminal but not directly to the venue.
Full marathon starts and finishes at Goseokjeong, Jangheung-ri, Dongsong-eup, Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do — a scenic riverside pavilion area. Half marathon starts at Woljeongni Station DMZ Peace Culture Plaza and finishes at Goseokjeong.
No public transit — same rural venue
Finish for all distances is Goseokjeong.
The Cheorwon DMZ International Peace Marathon is held in rural Cheorwon county near the DMZ, with no subway or intercity rail directly serving the venue. There is no dedicated transit card system relevant here; most participants arrive by chartered bus, rental car, or organized shuttle from Seoul, and local buses (where available) accept T-money or cash.
Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.
September mornings are cool, but the midday sun is strong.
Bring a light layer to shed before the start, plus a hat.
Because this race includes a full marathon, going out too fast (over pace) is the biggest danger.
Start more conservatively than your target pace and save energy for the second half.
Times are local to Cheolwon. Check the latest official information before the race.
