[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Go Dallyeong] The 1st Jinangun Citizens' Walking Contest of 2020 was held on the 10th at the Jinangun Office Plaza.

Hosted and organized by the Jinangun Sports Council (President Jeong Bongun), the event was held with the participation of about 300 people, including County Governor Jeon Chunsung, to revitalize physical activity that had been suppressed due to COVID-19 and to create a healthy and bright social atmosphere through walking.

They enjoyed a refreshing morning along the approximately 3km walking course from the Jinangun Office Plaza to the entrance of Maisan Myeongin Myeongpumgwan. All participants who completed the course were given Jinan Plateau Happiness Gift Certificates (5,000 won).

In particular, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, all participants wore masks, and strict adherence to social distancing and quarantine measures was maintained, including temperature checks and hand sanitization before participating in the contest.

Meanwhile, employees of the Jinangun Office's Culture and Sports Department distributed red ginseng candies and red ginseng jelly to the walking contest participants while also promoting the Jinan Red Ginseng Festival to be held this fall.

Governor Jeon said, “I hope this will be a precious time full of happiness and healing, shaking off the lost daily life and the withdrawn hearts due to COVID-19.”
