In this competition, 46 local mountaineers participated and walked 16.7 km from Gaudo Suspension Bridge to the old Mokri Bridge. On the morning of the 14th, the mountaineers gathered at the Ogam-dong bus stop in Gangjin-eup and took a rural bus to the entrance of Gaudo Suspension Bridge.

After receiving an explanation of the main course and stretching, they arrived at Jeonggak in Bonghwang Village via Sesimjeong mountain trail, the 2nd Janggyegyo Bridge, and Janggyebebang embankment.

After resting while eating rice and oat bread made from local agricultural products, they completed the entire course passing through Chilryang Yeongpung Village, Manbok Village, the agricultural industrial complex, Guro Wharf, Gangjin Ecological Park, and finally the old Mokri Bridge terminus.

Yu Kyung-sook, a resident of Gangjin-eup, said, "I challenged the hiking competition on a friend's recommendation and made many good friends," adding, "Seeing the beautiful coastal scenery of Gangjin and migratory birds relieved my stress and gave me a healing time."

Kim Sang-eun, president of the Gangjin-gun Mountaineering Federation, who organized the competition, said, "Although Gangjin-gun has many hiking trails and new premium paths are continuously increasing, usage is low due to lack of promotion," and added, "I will actively cooperate in promoting Gangjin-gun by personally walking various courses that can showcase the charm of Gangjin-gun and utilizing them for publicity."

Meanwhile, the Gangjin Nampalang-gil Recreational Hiking Club Mountaineering Competition will be held two more times on the 21st and 28th.
