Almost anyone can run in the amateur marathon alongside professional runners. Americans, and other nationalities, can apply!
It’s not possible to register for the race on your own. You will need to book a Pyongyang Marathon Tour with a DPRK licensed tour operator. Uri Tours is the official travel partner of the Pyongyang Marathon and we have a variety of marathon tours to choose from. Let us know which category you want to sign up for (full, half or 10K). We’ll send you all you need to know about traveling to the DPRK as well as running in the race. See tour information below.
There are no caps placed on the number of registered runners the marathon committee will accept. We have confirmed this with the Official Pyongyang Marathon Committee - they are welcoming as many runners as possible. However, April will be an incredibly busy month in the DPRK, and hotel accommodations and plane tickets WILL sell out quickly. It’s recommended to book as soon as possible.
