Pick up your bib, check your wave.
So on race morning, you can just run.
The 2026 competition was completely canceled due to the heat wave (reported by Gyeongnam Ilbo and Asia Today)
Eden Valley Resort is located in the mountainous area of Yangsan, so there are no subway or train stations, and public transportation is very limited (some Yangsan city buses run at long intervals). This is an area where taxis or rental cars are virtually essential for foreign visitors.
For reference, news has been confirmed that the 2026 competition has been completely canceled due to the heat wave.
Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.
This is a midsummer race, so heat and humidity are major factors.
Even with an early start, do not skip aid stations, and avoid chasing an overly ambitious time.
The distance is short and not too demanding, but as long as you avoid going out too hard pace, finishing should be well within reach.
Yangsan is famous for Tongdosa, a thousand-year-old Buddhist temple.
The scenery around the foothills of Yeongchuksan Mountain is also worth exploring.
Times are local to Yangsan. Check the latest official information before the race.
