    청남대 잔디광장에서 집결해 청남대 진출입구를 달리는 코스라 풍경이 정말 아름다웠습니다. 다만 업다운힐이 있어 코스 난이도는 높은 편입니다. 그래도 대부분 그늘이어서 초여름 날씨임에도 비교적 선선하고 뛸 만했습니다. 마라톤 레전드와 같은 코스를 뛰고, 사인과 사진 촬영까지 할 수 있었던 점도 특별한 경험이었습니다. 완주 후 제공된 살얼음 묵사발은 정말 맛있었고, 티셔츠·메달·간식 등 구성도 좋았습니다. 스태프분들도 친절하셨고, 대회 규모가 크지 않아 전반적으로 쾌적하게 참여할 수 있었습니다. 다만 안전 측면에서는 아쉬움이 있었습니다. 청남대에서 나가는 방향이 일방 통제되어 불가피한 부분도 있었겠지만, 통제 시간임에도 주로에 차량이 양방향으로 계속 지나가 후미 주자, 특히 어린이 참가자들의 안전이 우려되었습니다. 일부 운영상 아쉬운 점은 있었지만, 대회 컨셉이 뚜렷하고 매력적인 만큼 앞으로 시리즈를 계속 이어간다면 더욱 특색 있는 마라톤 대회가 될 것 같습니다. 응원합니다.

Race Information

THE PACER SERIES is a premium marathon event where participants have the unique opportunity to run side by side with the world-renowned marathoner Mary Keitany.

Rather than just honoring her legacy, this event, held on June 28, 2026, at Cheongju Daecheong Lake area, focuses on the lived experience of running together with the "Queen of New York" amidst the stunning scenery of Daecheong Lake. Under the theme of "Running with a Legend," participants will share the same path and breathe the same air as Keitany, crafting their own finish-line stories alongside a true icon of the sport.

The event emphasizes a "shared rhythm," where runners respect their individual paces while staying in sync with both Keitany and the natural environment, aiming for a true festival of running that is completed through connection rather than solitude. By moving together, participants can directly experience her philosophy of "Slowly, but never stop," finding the strength to overcome their past selves and share a profound sense of achievement. Running alongside a global legend will provide a vivid and unforgettable experience for every runner to push their limits and celebrate their persistence together.
