The past Sunday in Daegu was full of festivity! Daegu International Marathon finally took place on a beautiful sunny Sunday with historical record of 15,561 participants from 12 different countries! It also marked 10th race since it was promoted as IAAF Silver Label road race. Everyone gathered here at Gukchaebosang Memorial Park where a number of city events happen throughout the year!
Today is the day
Whether amateurs or professional marathoners, they all look excited!
There were many families, friends, club members and co-workers who participated together.
Before the marathon
There were fun performances to celebrate the festivity. One of the things that captured people’s attention was an electric car that was used for guiding runners. You can see that Daegu Metropolitan City strive to be the leading city for future vehicles!;)

Three, two, one!
