Dong-a marathoners raring to go

With two days to go until the start of the 2001 Dong-a Seoul International Marathon, foreign marathoners wearing bright clothes enjoy the mild spring weather while jogging Thursday at the Seoul Olympic Parktel.

Organizers of the event issued a request for Seoul residents to leave their cars at home on race day because road blocks will be set up along the race course, crisscrossing the city between Kwanghwamun and Chamsil Olympic Stadium.
