The 7th Jeokbyeok River Marathon invites runners to explore the scenic beauty of Geumsan's Jeokbyeok River on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Participants can choose from three distances: a 5 km run, a 10 km course, and a half marathon (21.0975 km). Each distance offers stunning riverside views along an out-and-back route that starts and finishes at the Geumsan Insamgol Auto Camping Site. Registration for this community-focused event is open from August 10 to November 7, 2026, with entry fees starting at KRW 40,000. The race day schedule includes a check-in and bib/T-shirt pickup beginning at 8:00 AM, followed by an opening declaration and staggered starts for the half marathon from 8:55 AM onwards. Participants will enjoy performance running T-shirts, timing chips with mobile finisher certificates, JBR shoe bags, finisher medals, post-race snacks, energy bars, and a chance to win prizes through a draw. The event features aid stations throughout the course, as well as medical support, baggage storage facilities, changing rooms, and a dedicated food zone for refreshments. All adults in Korea are eligible to participate, though minors must be accompanied by an adult guardian. Preschoolers and younger elementary school children cannot take part in this race due to safety regulations. Additionally, participants must have proper insurance coverage before entering the event. For those looking to extend their experience beyond just a day of running, pre-race camping is available for KRW 30,000 on a first-come, first-served basis with only 21 sites allocated. The Jeokbyeok River Marathon Organizing Committee ensures that runners and spectators alike will be treated to an engaging atmosphere filled with natural beauty and community spirit.
