Dongdaemun-gu Hosts Solo Cheonggyecheon Walk Non-Face-to-Face Challenge Following GPS... Walk 10,000 Steps and Verify on Designated Dates Monthly... 300 Participants Drawn for Convenience Store Mobile Voucher... Runs Until November 21

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) is conducting the ‘Walking Alone Along Cheonggyecheon’ challenge, which involves walking along Cheonggyecheon following GPS (location service) to promote walking.

This is to contribute to the health improvement of residents by motivating walking through the ‘Walking Alone Along Cheonggyecheon’ challenge alongside the existing walking challenge where participants walk 10,000 steps and verify on designated dates each month.

‘Walking Alone Along Cheonggyecheon’ is a challenge where participants turn on GPS and walk a designated walking course, receiving guidance on pleasant walking paths. Starting from Cheonggyecheon, the heart of Seoul, themed ‘The Stream Where Clear Water Flowed,’ participants can walk all the way to the Han River. The course is about 9.2 km, starting from Cheonggye Plaza, passing Gosan Bridge, Salgot Bridge, and ending at Hanyang University. It is expected to be enjoyable as walkers can appreciate 22 bridges encountered along the route.

To participate, install the walking application ‘WalkOn,’ join the Dongdaemun-gu Smart Walking Life, select ‘Participate in Walking Alone Along Cheonggyecheon,’ turn on GPS, and walk the guided course. Note that if GPS is turned off, participation in the challenge will not be recognized, so caution is required.

The participation periods are scheduled for the 1st round from October 1 to 21 and the 2nd round from November 1 to 21.

Among participants, 300 people will be randomly selected to receive mobile convenience store vouchers. For more details, inquiries can be made via the KakaoTalk channel ‘Dongdaemun-gu Daily Life Becomes Exercise’ by chatting.

You Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “I hope many people participate in the Walking Alone Along Cheonggyecheon event to feel the autumn atmosphere of Cheonggyecheon and recover their health, which has been weakened due to COVID-19.” He added, “Above all, please adhere to COVID-19 prevention guidelines such as practicing social distancing and wearing masks, and pay attention to safety by wearing comfortable sneakers, warming up, and taking breaks while walking.”
