Maybe they're afraid of a assassination attemp on Kim Jong‑un?

Tightening the screws even further on travel to their already isolated country, North Korean authorities have barred foreigners from one of the year's most popular tourist events — the annual Pyongyang marathon — because of ongoing concerns over the spread of the Ebola virus, travel agencies said Monday.

While no cases of Ebola have been reported anywhere near North Korea, the country shut its doors on foreign tourists in October with some of the strictest Ebola regulations in the world. North Korean media have suggested Ebola was created by the U.S. military as a biological weapon.  http://www.msn.com/en-ca/travel/news/north-korea-bars-foreigners-from-pyongyang-marathon/ar-BBhRCND

They should be more afraid of measles from US citizens.
