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.

Mornings in October can be quite chilly.

Bring a layer for waiting at the start, and if you race in short sleeves, use arm sleeves to stay warm early on.

The distance is short, so it isn't too demanding;

as long as you avoid an early over-pace, finishing is well within reach.

Busan is known for dwaeji-gukbap (pork and rice soup) and milmyeon (cold wheat noodles), and for Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches and Gamcheon Culture Village.

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