💨 Abstract

North Korea held its first Pyongyang International Marathon in six years, allowing foreign runners to visit the reclusive country after it closed its borders during the pandemic. About 200 athletes from countries like China and Romania participated in the event, which celebrated the birthday of Kim Il Sung, North Korea's founder. The marathon was a return course through central Pyongyang, passing major landmarks and countryside before ending in a stadium filled with spectators.
