As with last year, we would be starting from Tapdong Park 탑동공원, north of Jeju City and go around the eastern shoreline past Aewol, Hallim, Chakwido, Daejeong, Jungmun and finally ending on the southern tip in Seogwipo’s Sports Stadium 제주도 월드컵 경기장.

Despite the obvious benefit (ie: more time to sleep), I was surprised, even shocked that KUMF organizers didn’t consider the obvious downsides:
Not taking advantage of maximum sunlight hours = most runners finishing after dusk and as a result = reduced visibility of and for runners. Not to mention becoming a victim of hypothermia. (more…)
