2nd Sejong City National Marathon

The 2nd Sejong Special Self-Governing City National Marathon invites runners of all ages to experience a vibrant day of running on November 15, 2026. The race is set to begin at the Sejong Citizens’ Sports Complex with registration available from June 20th to July 30th through an online system that operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
Participants can choose among three distinct courses tailored for different levels of runners and age groups: a competitive 10 km course designed primarily for adults, a more accessible 5 km general division open to all ages above eight years old, and a special student-friendly 5 km race. The event promises an engaging atmosphere with pre-race performances, opening ceremonies, warm-up exercises, and post-event award presentations.
The day kicks off at 8:00 AM when runners begin gathering for the festivities leading up to their respective start times – 9:30 AM for the longer distance and 9:40 AM for those in shorter races. All participants will receive bib numbers along with timing chips via mail prior to race day, ensuring a seamless experience from registration through finish line.
Upon crossing the finish line, all runners are rewarded with commemorative medals celebrating their achievement, while certificates of completion can be downloaded and printed online at any time after the event concludes. To enhance the runner’s experience beyond just the racing itself, meal vouchers will also be distributed on race day to enjoy a well-deserved meal at designated restaurants.
Adding an extra layer of excitement is the chance for participants to enter into various prize draws offering diverse rewards such as airline tickets, washing machines, bicycles, and fans. The Sejong Special Self-Governing City National Marathon promises not only a challenging course but also a memorable day filled with community spirit and celebration.
