The race will take you from near sea level, almost vertically up to 809 meters above sea level, then across a ridge to the second peak of 743m and down the other side, finishing about 8.6 kilometers later, in the beautiful temple surroundings of Dogapsa.
. . .
Even if you don't think you're up for the challenge of racing over a mountain, please join in and do a "fun run / walk" with your friends. Perhaps you'd like to join in the theme of caring for the environment and bring along a trash bag to collect some garbage in the park and make it a little more clean & "green".
There is more information on the official site, and those interested are asked to register there as well. There is also a Facebook group for the race.
Wolchulsan is one of the few places in Korea I regret never having the chance to visit. Google will be your friend for more information about it and the eponymous national park, and a blog search turns up loads of good write-ups, too.
About the closest I got. Wolchulsan seen beyond the cherry blossoms of Gangjin county's Byeongyeong-myeon, April 2006.

That pic is beautiful, especially with all the trees lined up.
Thank you, cshin9.
I remember that day well, a school trip, and this is one of those pictures that looks better to me the older it gets.
