[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Namwon City, Jeonbuk, has launched a walking challenge to overcome the physical and mental fatigue caused by the spread of COVID-19 and to promote physical activity.

On the 26th, the city announced that to celebrate the 90th Chunhyang Festival, it will operate a nationwide online challenge called "Chunhyang, Walking the Namwon愛 Road!" to encourage healthy walking habits in daily life amid the difficult and exhausting environment caused by COVID-19.

The city prepared this to wisely overcome the fatigue and depression of not only Namwon citizens but also the entire nation caused by COVID-19 and flood damage, through the online Chunhyang Festival "Namwon Warak" and the walking challenge, aiming to promote physical activity.

The online "Chunhyang, Walking the Namwon愛 Road!" challenge accepts participation applications until the 9th of next month, and from the 10th to the 13th, during the Chunhyang Festival period, it targets the entire nation to walk more than 36,000 steps over four days using the mobile walking app "WalkOn" together with the Chunhyang Festival YouTube channel "Namwon Warak."

"WalkOn" is a mobile walking app that measures real-time step counts and provides incentives upon achieving target steps, encouraging active participation in walking exercises in daily life.

The city will open a community and provide mobile cultural gift certificates (worth 5,000 KRW) as incentives from the Chunhyang Festival Organizing Committee to the first 1,000 participants who achieve the challenge goals.

To participate in the challenge, install and sign up for the WalkOn app, join the official Namwon City community, and subscribe to the nationwide online "Chunhyang, Walking the Namwon愛 Road!" challenge's "Namwon Warak" YouTube channel.

Then, capture the "Subscribed" screen, upload it to the bulletin board with the phrase "Capture complete," click participate, and during the Chunhyang Festival period, walk at least 9,000 steps per day and a total of 36,000 steps over four days while carrying your phone.

Lee Sunrye, Director of the Health Center, said, "As the 90th Chunhyang Festival is held online due to the spread of COVID-19 and flood damage, we hope this walking challenge will help overcome these difficulties through nationwide healthy walking practices in daily life," and added, "We hope everyone participates together."
