The Pyongyang International Marathon, known officially as the Mangyongdae Prize International Marathon, will be held this Sunday in theNot only are runners allowed to run through the streets of Pyongyang, passing Kim Il-Sung Square and under the Arch of Triumph where normally tourists movements are strictly controlled, the race boasts an epic finish for each runner.
This will be the 30th iteration of the marathon since it began in 1981, but it will only be the sixth year the race is open to foreign amateur runners. It is shaping up to be the race's biggest year with over 1,600 runners competing. U.S. passport holders, however, still cannot travel into North Korea, nor are tour operators like Koryo Tours allowed to register them because of State Department travel restrictions put in place after the death of Otto Warmbier, the American student who was detained in North Korea from January 2016 to June 2017.
