North Korea Hosts International Marathon

North Korea had a big race called the Pyongyang International Marathon. It happened for the first time in six years. About 200 people from other countries came to run.

The race is special because it lets runners see North Korea's capital city. They run past famous places like a big stadium and a street for scientists. Many people watched and cheered for the runners. One North Korean runner said the cheering helped him when he felt tired.

Before this race, North Korea didn't let many people visit because of COVID-19. Now, they are slowly letting more people come to their country.
