About This Race

The 60-kilometer distance serves as the technical stepping stone between TransJeju's shorter introduction and its demanding ultra-distance offerings, requiring runners to navigate the full complexity of Hallasan's volcanic terrain while managing the strategic challenge of sustained effort across multiple ecosystems. With significant elevation gain through the mountain's distinct climate zones, this distance demands both technical trail skills and endurance pacing, making it ideal for runners ready to test themselves beyond marathon distance but not yet committed to the multi-day challenge of longer UTMB World Series events. The course provides a comprehensive Jeju experience while remaining accessible to runners building toward their first major ultra-distance goal.
