Daegu Marathon

The Daegu Marathon 2025 is a trail-based full marathon set for February in South Korea, offering runners a flat to gently rolling course through the region with minimal elevation change that rarely climbs much above 111 meters. This is a solid choice if you're looking for a winter road racing option outside the typical spring marathon season, though you should prepare for Korean winter conditions and potentially crowded local running events. The trail surface means you'll want shoes with adequate grip and traction rather than your standard road racers, and the gentle rolling terrain makes it accessible to runners across fitness levels without being completely pancake-flat. Check the official race website for specific logistics like start times, bib pickup, and course support stations well ahead of race day, as international runners often face different procedures than local participants. February weather in Daegu typically means cold temperatures and possible precipitation, so plan your training and gear accordingly during the winter months leading up to the race.
