Escape the Frustrating Daily Life... Challenge the 'Mapo, 10 Walking Paths You Want to Walk'!

Discovering Hidden Gems in Mapo and Health: Safe Walking Trips Amid COVID-19... Seoul Love Gift Certificates Awarded Monthly to 100 Challenge Mission Achievers

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Mapo-gu (Mayor Yudonggyun) is operating the ‘2021, Mapo 10 Walking Paths Challenge,’ a relay event where Mapo residents and tourists walk the 10 selected walking paths of Mapo-gu by course.

Last year, the district selected the ‘Mapo 10 Walking Paths,’ linking local stories and tourism elements, and guided them as courses.

This was highly praised by residents as a suitable walking tourism course in the era of non-face-to-face tourism activated by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Based on this, the ‘Mapo 10 Walking Paths Challenge’ promoted this time is an event prepared for residents and tourists who are feeling confined in their daily lives due to COVID-19.

From May to November (excluding July and August), two courses from the ‘Mapo 10 Walking Paths’ will be selected and conducted each month. In the first month, May, from the 10th to the 31st, Course 1 Gyeongui Line Forest Trail and Course 2 Ahyeon-dong Hill Road were designated as challenge courses.

To participate in the challenge, install and sign up for the ‘WalkOn’ app from Google Play or the App Store, then search for ‘Mapo 10 Walking Paths Challenge’ in the challenge mode at the bottom and join.

Participants should maintain social distancing by securing personal safety distance and wearing masks while completing the ‘Mapo 10 Walking Paths Challenge’ missions.

Those who complete more than 80% of each course will receive a mobile coupon entry ticket (limited to the first 500 people), and after completing the challenge, 100 people will be selected by lottery by the 15th of the following month each month to receive a mobile coupon (Seoul Love Gift Certificate worth 10,000 KRW) in an event.

For more details about this challenge, inquiries can be made to the Mapo-gu Tourism Division.

Mayor Yudonggyun of Mapo-gu said, “I hope the Mapo 10 Walking Paths Challenge will be a good opportunity to take care of your health and discover hidden attractions in Mapo,” and added, “We plan to conduct two Mapo walking path courses each month, so we ask for the participation of many residents who want to go on a walking trip in their nearby neighborhoods.”
