Daegu 2026: Everything Masters Athletes Need to Know Before They Arrive

World Masters Athletics Championships Daegu 2026 – August 22 to September 3.

In this episode, a representative from the Local Organizing Committee (LOC)

joins Boyke to give international athletes the inside track on everything

that matters: competition venues, shuttle buses, free transport cards for all

participants, training facilities, accommodation booking, medical and

physiotherapy services, and how the LOC is managing the heat.

But this is more than a logistics briefing. Daegu is about to become the first

city in history to host both the Indoor and Outdoor World Masters Athletics

Championships – a dream that started with the 2017 Indoor event and comes true

this summer. Our guest also shares personal tips for first-time visitors: where

to eat, what to see, a few Korean phrases that will get you far, and why the

Athlete Holiday programme is worth planning around.

If you're competing in Daegu or still deciding whether to register – this

episode is your starting point.
