Stations & transport near the venue

Getting to the start

The starting point is the Deungeok Alps Hot Springs Hotel area in Ulju-gun (9 Alps Hot Springs 2-gil, Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan).

9th peak course 14:00 departure, 5th peak course 20:00 departure.

Date (2026-08-15, Saturday) and departure location can be confirmed on the official site (jyd.creatorlink.net).

Stations & transport near the venue

This trail race crosses the rural Yeongnam Alps range (Ulsan/Miryang/Yangsan border), with no subway access.

Get there by intercity bus to the nearest town then a local shuttle or taxi, or by car;

T-money is usable on regional buses but a car is the realistic choice for trailhead access.

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.

The race starts in front of Eonyang Alps Oncheon Hotel in Ulju County and offers two events: the 9 Peaks 85 km (Entry fee 180,000 won) and the 5 Peaks 43 km (Entry fee 120,000 won).

The 9 Peaks starts at 2:00 p.m. and the 5 Peaks at 8:00 p.m., so both events include night running from shortly after the start.

The time limit is 25 hours 15 minutes for the 9 Peaks and 12 hours 8 minutes for the 5 Peaks.

Mandatory equipment includes a flashing signal baton (safety light), power bank, lamp or flashlight, personal cup, and waterproof jacket for rain.

Since this is a long race lasting around 25 hours, with a night start, prepare enough spare batteries to keep your lamp on from start to finish.

The aid station does not provide disposable cups, so forgetting your personal cup may make it difficult to take on water at all.

Registration is first come, first served, and refunds are unavailable after one month before the race, so we recommend applying once your schedule is confirmed.

Check the cumulative elevation and detailed section time limit in the official race regulations.

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