2026 Pohang Marathon Championship

The 2026 Pohang Marathon Championship offers runners two engaging courses: a scenic 10Km route and a more accessible 5Km option. Registration for this eagerly anticipated race opens on April 13th, with spots available to the first 7,000 participants who sign up online through the official website.
Participants must pay their registration fee within three days of applying; otherwise, their application will be canceled automatically. For those opting for the longer distance, a participation fee of 50,000 won is required, while the shorter course costs 30,000 won. Payment can be made via bank transfer to an iM Bank account (Account Number: 504-10-237638-7; Account Holder: High Gear (Park Gwang-yeol)). Individuals and group participants must provide specific details with their transfers to ensure proper processing.
All registrants are covered by accident insurance, but this coverage is limited to fatal accidents only. It does not include medical treatment or injury costs, which remain the responsibility of each participant. For safety reasons, individuals with heart conditions or high blood pressure should avoid participating unless they have a doctor's clearance.
During the race, participants must be vigilant about their health and stop immediately if any physical abnormalities arise; assistance from medical staff is readily available at various points along both courses. The organizers emphasize that proxy runners and unregistered individuals are entirely responsible for themselves in case of injury or accidents during the event.
Registration refunds may be requested up until a specified deadline before the race, but once this period has passed, no further cancellations or refund requests will be accepted. Detailed information regarding the exact timeframe for these requests will be communicated separately prior to registration closing.
The Pohang Marathon Championship promises an invigorating experience amidst the vibrant setting of Pohang, offering a mix of challenging terrain and beautiful scenery that caters to both seasoned runners and beginners alike.
