More details

Getting to the start

No information - no subway/train stations

Start shuttle

The 2026 competition was completely canceled due to the heat wave (reported by Gyeongnam Ilbo and Asia Today)

Transit card

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.

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.

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.
