The 7th Mudeungsan Geo Marathon

“Anyway, I finished safely.”

After covering 32 km the previous year, the runner completed the half marathon this year. The runner mistakenly wore different shoes from the pair they had prepared, and the heat and repeated climbs and descents were tougher than expected. The runner wrote that they were satisfied with the event's relatively relaxed atmosphere and the souvenirs.

“I finished fifth among the women in half marathon, kya-rarak~~~~~~~~”

The runner entered half marathon at Geumho Hwasun Spa Resort and finished fifth among women in 1:49. The hills and heat were tough, but aid station and cheers from their crew kept them going, and a final kick kept them in the 1:49 range.

“I always feel a little disappointed after a run...”

The runner took part in the 10km with their crew again after last year. The hot weather and turnaround point climbs were tough, and the runner felt they needed to practise speeding up at the end. The runner said they enjoyed the crew's support and the race souvenirs.

“I set a new PB with a time of 47 minutes.”

The runner ran the 10km at Kumho Hwasun Resort, set a new personal best of 47 minutes, and finished 5th. Watching an acquaintance up ahead kept them pushing to the end, and while the finisher medal design was nice, they were disappointed that the daetongbap (rice cooked in bamboo) they'd been looking forward to wasn't there.

“I gritted my teeth, endured it, and finished.”

At the venue, the runner changed their 32K registration to the 10K and finished in 46 minutes 32 seconds. There was severe congestion at the start, but they found their pace after 1 km and kept running to the finish even after developing abdominal pain around 8 km.
