On February 20, 2027, runners from around the world will gather at Miryang Sports Complex in Gyeongnam, South Korea, for the vibrant and historic 23rd Miryang Arirang Marathon. This certified course by the Korea Association of Athletics Federations offers a scenic route through the heart of Miryang City, where participants can experience the city's rich cultural heritage alongside its natural beauty. The day begins with an opening ceremony at 9:50 a.m., setting the stage for three exciting race distances: half marathon, 10 km, and 5 km. The half marathon kicks off promptly at 10:00 a.m., followed by the 10 km run starting just fifteen minutes later at 10:15 a.m., and finally the shorter yet spirited 5 km event beginning at 10:30 a.m. Registration for this popular race opens on November 2, 2026, with entry fees ranging from KRW 40,000 to KRW 20,000 depending on the distance. Timing chips are provided for both half marathon and 10 km runners but not for those participating in the 5 km race. With a limited capacity of 10,000 participants, early registration is advised as spots can fill up quickly. The Miryang Arirang Marathon promises an unforgettable blend of athletic challenge and cultural immersion, making it a must-attend event for any runner looking to experience South Korea's unique sporting atmosphere.
