Pyongyang Marathon
路线详情
路线亮点
For this year's event, the race is a return course — rather than the loop of previous years — with the route being run through the city centre. Runners will go past many of the iconic buildings, monuments, and streets of Pyongyang, before heading out into the countryside, just outside the urban centre, before running back again.This new route — which is IAAF bronze label certified — gives runners the chance to see more of the capital than in previous years, and also allows more interaction with people along the course, as it takes in more parts of the city than ever before.All three amateur races — the 10km, half marathon, and full marathon — will start and finish inside Kim Il Sung Stadium (including a final lap of the stadium track). This means that everyone participating will get the chance to finish in front of a 50,000-strong capacity crowd of local Koreans who will be in attendance at the stadium.

Kim Il-sung Stadium, Moranbong District, Pyongyang, North Korea评论
It's the only chance that you can be on your own on the street in Pyongyang. Note DPRK is not an open country and all foreigners will need to be accompanied with the tour all the time. Pyongyang Marathon rules don't allow you to carry a camera or a phone with you but I believe almost everyone runs with either iPhone or GoPro. There are some cheerful crowds on the street including the kids asking you some hi-fives. Prior the trip, I thought I would come to North Korea once so that I can cross this country out from the checklist. Now my perception has changed. I would love to come back if I have a chance.
The only way you can run this marathon is to buy a tour package. It's a good way to explore this country as well.
The cutoff for marathon (2018) is 5:30 but this got changed last minute to 5:00. However the stadium gate closes at 4:30 for the ceremony. If you come to the stadium after 4:30, you will be diverted to another finish line outside the stadium.
