Korean American Friendship Marathon
제 1회 미 동부지역 한인 마라톤 대회
Thank you for joining KAFM( Korean American Friendship Marathon)
The 1st Korean American Friendship Marathon (제1회 미동부지역 한인 마라톤 대회)
Thank you for joining “The 1st Korean American friendship Marathon”
Please accept our apology for the lack of toilets, late transportation, and some missing signs.
Since the weather was hot , up to 83 degrees , the full marathoners might need ices…
It was almost 10 degree higher than yearly average
All will be ready for the coming years and will do our best with those experiences.
We have organized this race for all runners in the Eastern US area including those in the Korean Community to get together once a year at least and make friendship with all runners and residents around …
We are pretty sure that this race will be getting better for the years to come.
Thanks you again for joining this race and being with us..
Hope you join in the coming years
제1회 한인 마라톤 대회에 동참해 주심에 감사드립니다.
이번이 첫해가 되어서 화장실, 운송, 도로 사인 판, 주로에 찬물공급 등에, 미숙하고 미흡한 점이 많았던 점 사과 드리고, 이를 경험삼아 다음번에는 모두가 편안하고 즐겁게 달릴 수 있는 환경을 조성하는데 최선을 다할 것을 말씀드립니다.
예상치 못한 뜨거운 날씨로 특히 풀마라톤 주자들이 많이 힘들어 하셨던 것 같습니다.
앞으로 미흡했던 점들을 보완해 나갈 것입니다.
마라톤을 사랑하고 같이 나누고자 하는 이들의 작은 정성들을 모아, 마라톤을 주위 친구들, 이웃들에 소개하고, 일년에 한번이라도 한인 러너들이 한마음으로 모이고, 달리고, 또한 현지 주민과 러너들 과도 같이함으로, 서로 간의 이해, 친목을 증진시키고 나아가 화합의 장을
다지고자, 이번 대회를 개최하였습니다.
앞으로 해를 거듭할수록 부족한 점들을 보완하여 명실상부한 최고의 대회로 만들어 갈 것을 말씀드립니다.

About the Race
The Korean American friendship marathon will be held on the same course of the Two River Marathon
The course is among the Top 25 of Boston Qualifier times of all marathons in the US .
I’m pleased to announce that this course has been selected as the Pennsylvania State Marathon Championship Race since 2016.
It’s a fast course! There are a hill or two, early in the race, but the 600 feet of net elevation loss and generally flat last 16 miles of the marathon make it fast, fun and friendly.
All finishers in the marathon, half-marathon, 10k and 5k will receive:
Conqueror Medals
beautiful T shirt
Unlimited Variety of Korean Foods at the Finish .
Enjoy K-Pops, and Korean Traditional Dance
You get all of the above if you compete in any race from the 5k to the marathon.
Our goal is to be the most athlete-friendly event in the country. We want to provide the best race day experience possible. We do this with a beautiful course, the best schwag and great food.

The Course
The 2018 races will be held on Sep. 16 (Sunday) with a 9am start for the marathon and half marathon, and a 10am start for the 5k and 10k races.
Race day athlete check-in is in the Woodloch Theater, 731 Welcome Lake Drive, Hawley PA. There will be signs directing athletes and families to the parking area.
The races are a qualifier for the Boston Marathon. The course is certified (certificate PA12012WB).
- Mile marker signs at every mile (as well as paint on the road surface)
- Signs that can’t be missed at the turnarounds (marathon, half-marathon, 10k and 5k)
- Marathon and half marathon turns. Please don’t miss them! Each turn will have signage, paint on the ground, cones and more signs letting you know it’s time to turn. RD Rule of Thumb, “When you think you have enough signs on the course so that nobody can possibly get lost, double the signage!” I will have double the signage on the course.
- Here are the “pay attention to” turns on the course:
- Mile 1.8 Right turn onto Masthope Plank Road
- Mile 8.5 or so. You’ll go under a railroad trestle, Go left here! You will have the option to go straight, but if you do, you will see a wall masquerading as a road. It is straight up. DO NOT GO STRAIGHT. You will run out of oxygen plus you will get lost.
- Mile 11.7. This is the end of Masthope Plank Road. You will know it very well after 9.9 miles on it. Go Right Here! There will be a portapotty here as well.
- Half Marathon Turnaround: You’ll have signage, cones, paint and a volunteer here. It is at mile 12.3 of the course.
- Marathon Turnaround: You’ll have signage, cones, paint and a volunteer here. It is at mile 18.8.
I hope you’ll find the race pricing an incredible value after you’ve experienced the event and obtained the race shirt, beautiful the 1st finisher’s medal, post race barbeque, and, hopefully, an award!
The course map is located here:
http://www.usatf.org/events/courses/maps/showMap.asp?courseID=PA12012WB
It is a certified Boston Marathon qualifying course.
The half marathon follows the marathon course. At Masthope Plank Road and Rte 590, mile 11.75, the half marathoners will turn right, as will the marathoners. The half marathoners will go out Rte 590 for about .75 miles, then turnaround and head back to the finish area.
The course elevation map is posted here:

Video of the Course ( It was taken on Winter.. Our race will be held on Early Fall... imagine.. more beautiful without snow)
Part 1 : This video covers the start of the Race (at Woodloch) to around mile 5.
Part 2 of 3: This video shows miles 5 to 11.75, which is the point that the athlete turns onto Rte 590 for the out and back along the Lackawaxen River.I recommend viewing 4:45 to 7:00 minutes into this video (little hills on the course) and 9:30 to 11:25 (end of video–shows turn onto Rte 590 and shows finish line).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xiya_7yf6kg
Part 3 of 3: This video covers the out and back along the Lackawaxen River. For marathoners, they will be on this road (Route 590) for 7 miles. For half marathoners, they will be on this road for 3/4 of a mile. Both events will have clearly marked turnarounds.
