The entry fee is 35,000 KRW for the half marathon and 10km categories, and 15,000 KRW for the 5km category.

Participants will receive souvenirs, bib numbers, timing chips, and guidebooks in advance, and finishers will be awarded medals on the day of the event. For more details, please contact the Suncheon City Sports Council.

Last year's event was canceled due to the Itaewon incident, and this year's marathon will prioritize safety above all else.

Meanwhile, the Nam Seung-ryong Marathon has been held since 2001 to honor the patriotic spirit of the late Nam Seung-ryong, a native of Suncheon who won a bronze medal at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, elevating national pride and contributing to the development of sports.
