Running Alone Through the Capital of North Korea ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต

I signed up for the Pyongyang International Marathon to be part of the first group of "athletes" allowed into North Korea after the borders slammed shut five years ago.

For the past six years, Iโ€™ve dedicated myself to learning Koreaโ€™s historyโ€”both North and Southโ€”which has earned me several awards and the title of Honorary Citizen of Seoul. But my curiosity doesnโ€™t stop at the DMZ. I wanted to go beyond the border, to meet North Koreans face-to-face, speak with them in Korean (as best I could), and see the people behind the regime.

This was actually my second visit to North Koreaโ€”my last trip was in December 2018, just months before the borders closed. But this time, it felt different. With my backgroundโ€”living in South Korea, married to a South Korean, and having made videos with North Korean defectorsโ€”I honestly wasnโ€™t sure if they'd even let me in. And if they did, how would they react to me?

This is the second video, where I run the 31st Pyongyang International Marathonโ€”racing through the streets of Pyongyang, starting and finishing at Kim Il-sung Stadium, cheered on by 50,000 North Koreans. It was, to say the least, surreal. But it was also a breath of fresh air, running alone at times through the streets, with Pyongyangites along the road cheering us (amateur) athletes on. We ended the day with a visit to the Pyongyang Central Zoo. Enjoy!

Enjoy the adventure.
