Therefore, more information will be provided as soon as the IAAF has announced the Entry Standards and relevant criteria.

How do I get to Daegu? |
|
There are three ways to get to the city of Daegu: by air, by high-speed train and by bus.
By Air
We expect most passengers to arrive in Daegu via a domestic flight from Incheon International Airport, which takes less than an hour. There are, however, some airlines that offer direct flights to and from Daegu, such as Air China and the Philippine Airlines.
By KTX
The KTX is a high-speed domestic train. From Seoul, it takes just an hour and 40 minutes to get to Daegu.
By Express Bus
For those with the adventurous spirit, you should take the Express Bus from Incheon. The bus ride from Incheon to Daegu is about four hours but you will savour the beautiful scenery that Korea has to offer.
