About this listen

 After years of closure to foreigners due to the pandemic and political tensions, North Korea quietly reopened the Pyongyang Marathon in 2025 — and Alex Page was one of the few Americans to lace up and run it. Alex recounts what it was like entering one of the world’s most isolated countries, the intriguing and tightly controlled experience of being a tourist there, and the surreal vibe of running through Pyongyang’s streets. It’s part adventure, part curiosity, and fully unforgettable.
