Inspiring Marathon with S-OIL

S-OIL with Inspiring Marathon invites participants from all walks of life to come together for an inclusive running experience that celebrates unity and support. This special edition marks S-OIL’s 50th anniversary, making the race even more meaningful as runners gather at Peace Plaza in World Cup Park, Seoul.
The event offers three course options: a 5km loop through scenic areas like Peace Plaza, Peace Park, and Nanji Hangang Park; a 10km route that extends around parts of World Cup Park including Energy Dream Center, Haneul Park, Noeul Park, the Ecological Park, and the Magok Bridge area; and a Half Marathon course which takes runners on an even longer journey through these picturesque locations. The 5km course is designed to be enjoyed without timing pressure, while the 10km and half marathon courses are timed.
Wheelchair athletes and stroller participants can join only in the shorter distance of 5 kilometers, ensuring accessibility for all. Accompanying runners who assist a participant with disabilities or developmental challenges may enter at no cost. The venue provides essential amenities such as changing rooms and baggage storage to make race day more convenient.
All finishers receive course-specific medals along with snacks upon completion. Participants will also be given a short-sleeve top, bib number, bottled water, and random Gudoil keyring gifts. Entry fees are eligible for donation receipts, adding an extra layer of support for those who wish to contribute further.
Start times vary by distance: the Half Marathon begins at 07:30 AM followed by the 10km race starting at 07:45 AM and finally the 5km course kicking off at 8:00 AM. Participants should arrive half an hour before their designated start time to ensure a smooth entry into the event.
Water stations are placed every 2.5 kilometers along each route, ensuring runners stay hydrated throughout their run. Ambulances and medical staff will be on standby for any assistance needed during the race, promoting safety and well-being among all participants.
Join S-OIL with Inspiring Marathon this October to celebrate unity in running while enjoying some of Seoul’s most beautiful parks and landmarks.
Participants are encouraged to gather at Peace Plaza in World Cup Park by 06:30 AM for a warm-up and pre-race preparations. The race is an excellent opportunity for both seasoned runners and newcomers alike, offering a supportive environment that fosters community spirit and inclusivity.
