Seoul Seobuk 3 Districts COVID-19 Overcome 'Walking Alone' Project Operation

Northwest 3 Districts (Eunpyeong-gu, Seodaemun-gu, Mapo-gu) Joint Project... Expecting Healing of Body and Mind Weary from COVID-19 through Walking

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) is operating a non-face-to-face mobile "Walking Alone" project to reduce residents' physical and mental stress and improve immunity while practicing social distancing, as participation in social and daily life distancing campaigns to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has led to a decrease in residents' physical activity.

In 2020, the walking challenge for the "Walking Alone" project to overcome COVID-19 was planned in three phases as a joint effort of the three northwestern districts of Seoul (Mapo, Seodaemun, and Eunpyeong-gu).

To participate, install the 'WalkOn' app on your smartphone, select the 'Seoul Northwestern 3 Districts (Mapo, Seodaemun, Eunpyeong-gu) Joint "Walking Alone" Walking Challenge' in challenge mode, and join during the challenge periods for each course: 1st phase Seodaemun walking course (6.25.~7.1), 2nd phase Mapo walking course (7.2.~7.8), and 3rd phase Eunpyeong walking course (7.9.~7.15). Participation is limited to 300 people per phase on a first-come, first-served basis.

Participants should perform the "Walking Alone" mission while practicing daily life distancing measures such as maintaining a safe distance and wearing masks.

Additionally, residents who achieve the walking challenge goals will be issued challenge achievement coupons and receive various gifts through an event.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, "I hope that this non-face-to-face mobile walking challenge will provide an opportunity to relieve stress accumulated in the frustrating daily life caused by COVID-19 by breathing in the refreshing air of nature." She added, "We will continue to promote various programs for the health of residents while practicing social and daily life distancing."
