READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

It's a midsummer race, and heat and humidity are big factors.

Even with an early start, don't skip water stations, and don't push too hard for a time.

The distance is short and not too demanding;

just avoid going out too fast (over-pace) early and you'll finish comfortably.

Times are local to Seoul. Check the latest official information before the race.
