“Apart from that, I think finishing without injury despite the unhelpful weather was a good thing.”

Yugo battled heavy rain and strong headwinds in the Yangyang Riverside National Marathon 10 kilometers. A directing mistake reduced the distance to around 9 kilometers, while registration, shuttles and an incorrect finisher medal date were disappointing.

“I just missed it, finishing in 2 hours 00 minutes 30 seconds.”

The writer ran the half marathon at the Yangyang Riverside National Marathon after attending with children. Heavy rain, wind and late fatigue made it difficult, but avoiding overexertion brought a finish in 2 hours 0 minutes 30 seconds.

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.

September is cool in the morning and hot during the day.

Bring a light jacket and a hat to take off before departure.

Since this is a competition with a limit of half marathon,

the key is to start with more time than your target for the first 5 km, and maintain pace after 15 km.

Yangyang is famous for pine mushrooms and surfing.

Naksansa Temple and Hajodae Beach are representative attractions.

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