About
The Chuncheon International Marathon is a historic and highly regarded road race held every October in the lakeside city of Chuncheon, South Korea. Known for its flat, scenic course that loops around Uiam Lake, the marathon offers ideal conditions for fast times, with cool autumn weather and minimal elevation changes. First run in 1946 and now organized by The Chosun Ilbo newspaper, the event holds World Athletics Silver Label status and attracts a competitive international field alongside thousands of local runners. With its vibrant fall colors, smooth logistics, and festive atmosphere, the Chuncheon Marathon is considered one of the premier marathons in Asia.
