El Maratón de Seúl JoongAng es una carrera pedestre anual que se lleva a cabo en Seúl , Corea del Sur , generalmente a principios de noviembre. Celebrada por primera vez en 1999, la carrera se estableció como una conmemoración de la carrera de maratón olímpica que se llevó a cabo como parte de los Juegos Olímpicos de Seúl 1988 . [1] Cuenta con una carrera de élite de maratón masculino, y también tiene carreras no profesionales de 10 km, así como la distancia de maratón. Los competidores internacionales de élite generalmente no están invitados a la carrera femenina, por lo que esa sección tiende a ser una competencia solo entre mujeres coreanas. [2]

Patrocinado por JoongAng Ilbo , el Maratón de Seúl de JoongAng es uno de los dos maratones internacionales anuales en la ciudad: el Maratón Internacional de Seúl se lleva a cabo en marzo y está patrocinado por el periódico rival The Dong-a Ilbo . [3] Ha recibido el estatus IAAF Bronze Label Road Race y fue sede del Campeonato Asiático de Maratón en 2004. [4]
It began as a half marathon with around 1300 participants in the first run.[5] The course was selected as a national championship race from 2001 onwards and it became a full marathon course the following year. A 5 km short course event was held at the inaugural edition and it featured for three years until its discontinuation in 2002. In 2007 it was awarded Silver Label Race Road status by the IAAF and by 2008 around 25,000 runners were competing at each annual event.[6]
Tracing a loop across Seoul, the course is generally flat, which allows for fast finishing times.[1] It takes place in the south-east part of the city, heading into the suburbs towards Seongnam before looping back to finish in the Jamsil Olympic Stadium.[7] The fast course has resulted in a number of sub-2:09 runs and even one sub-2:06 run in the men's race over the course's history.[8][9] James Kwambai is the men's course record holder with 2:05:50 hours and is the most successful athlete at the race, having won three times consecutively from 2011 to 2013.[10] The women's course record is 2:29:32 hours, set by national runner Lee Eun-Jung.
