We are emerging from a long and cold winter. It has challenged even the hardiest amongst us to get
out on the road and get those miles under our belts. Snow and ice has made it a tricky and sometimes
slippery event. Despite all that, we have had groups of 20+ runners on most Saturday mornings running
the 10KM loop and an even hardier few getting out early and running 30+ KMs preparing for the
marathon season this Spring.

The track has been covered in ice, so no track workouts have taken place for a couple of months and
the Namsan hill run has had varying attendance due to ice and snow and -15 degrees C. temperatures at
night.

It is warming up now and we can expect the weekly track, hills and river runs to gain momentum as we
all prepare for the Spring racing season. From March onwards, there will be races every weekend, so
keep a close watch on our Facebook Event page to see which races we will be participating in and get
your race registration in early.

The big race in March is the Seoul International Marathon (Donga Marathon) on March 20th, it is the
only Spring race in Korea that is an official qualifying race for the Boston Marathon. We will have a big
turnout of Seoul Flyer members for this race, this full marathon attracts a large cross section of our
members from three hours marathoners to those who will finish after 5+ hours.

Other races to watch out for are the 7th Koguryo Marathon on February 20th, this is a good long run
training event (32Km) for the Donga Marathon. The 2011 Masters Challenge Race on 27th February,
another long run training opportunity with a 32km distance.

On March 26th, the 10th Jeju International Ultra Marathon, on Jeju Island, for those of you who like
200KM, 100KM or 50 mile races….very beautiful and hilly.

On March 27th, the 11th Incheon International Marathon..through the streets of Incheon.

If you want a trip down south to historic Gyeongju, then the Cherry Marathon is the race for you, this
will be on 9th April and you should catch the first flush of the cherry blossom bloom.

On April 10 is the 2011 Adidas MBC Marathon, big race on eastern fringe of Seoul along the Han River.

The choices to run this Spring racing season are endless so come and join Seoul Flyers. This is an
opportunity to meet lots of great people, travel in and around Seoul and further afield in Korea. There is
no greater experience than participating in a race in Seoul, the camaraderie of the thousands of runners
taking part, makes for a great experience.
