Introduction

The Seoul Marathon, founded in 1931, is the oldest city marathon in Asia and the only race in South Korea to receive the World Athletics (WA) Platinum Label certification.
Held annually in March, the race's full marathon route starts at the iconic Gwanghwamun Square, winds through downtown Seoul, and ends at Jamsil Sports Complex. The cool, pleasant early spring weather, combined with a flat, straight, and almost undulating course, has earned it global acclaim as "the easiest fast course to break a personal best (PB)." Whether you're an elite runner seeking to push your speed limits or a traveler wanting to experience the charm of Seoul on foot, this is a must-run international long-distance running event!
