- Where do I pick up my race bib and packet?
- Packet pickup typically happens in the days leading up to the race at the JTBC Seoul Marathon Expo, often located near the Olympic Stadium or a major central venue. Check the official site for 2026 specifics as they do not mail bibs internationally.
- How do I get to the start line at Sangam World Cup Park?
- The most efficient way is the Seoul Subway Line 6 to World Cup Stadium Station. On race morning, trains run early to accommodate thousands of runners. Taxis are also plentiful but be aware of road closures.
- Is there a bag drop service?
- Yes, there is a gear bag service at the start line (Sangam) that will transport your belongings to the finish line (Olympic Park). Ensure you use the official clear bag provided in your race kit.
- What is the time limit for the full marathon?
- The JTBC Seoul Marathon typically has a strict 5-hour time limit. Road closures are lifted progressively, and runners falling behind the pace will be asked to board a sweep bus.
- Is the course hilly or flat?
- The course is generally flat and fast. It takes runners from the west of the city to the east, crossing the Han River and passing through the historic city centre with very minimal elevation gain.
- What is the expected weather for early November?
- November in Seoul is crisp and dry. Expect temperatures between 5°C and 12°C at the start. It is perfect PB weather, but you will need 'throwaway' clothes for the start line.
