Pet Celebrity Kang Hyung-wook Hosts Companion Dog Marathon 'DaengDaeng Run' in October

Proceeding in a Non-Face-to-Face Manner Considering the COVID-19 Situation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The dog trainer Kang Hyung-wook, known as the "Dog President," and the cultural planning company 1986 Production are hosting the dog marathon event "DaengDaeng Run" again in October, following the event held last May.

According to 1986 Production on the 22nd, considering the COVID-19 situation, DaengDaeng Run 2021 will be held in a non-face-to-face format. On October 16th from 10 a.m., trainer Kang Hyung-wook and official MC announcer Yoon Tae-jin will communicate with participants through a YouTube live broadcast.

At the same time, participants will do stretching exercises and shout the countdown to start. After completing the run, the medal awarding ceremony and events will be broadcast live together. If participants cannot join on the event day, they can participate and verify via SNS during the self-certification period from October 14th to 17th.

Through DaengDaeng Run’s official campaign, where 1 kg of dog food is donated per participant, the goal is to donate 5 tons of dog food to the Yongin City Animal Protection Association to help abandoned dogs.

Since the 10th, general and Pebo special participation tickets for "DaengDaeng Run 2021 Autumn" have been opened.

There are two course options available: 5K and 10K, and the basic ticket price is 30,000 KRW regardless of the course. The Pebo special participation ticket, which includes Pebo worth about 50,000 KRW, is sold for 40,000 KRW as a package.

After running or walking with their dogs, participants who certify their completion record on Instagram with the required hashtags will be entered into a drawing to win various prizes such as harnesses, portable bags, and treat pouches.

The full souvenir set, including the official T-shirt and medal, will be shipped collectively to all participants before the event. Additionally, this time, a DaengDaeng T-shirt that completes a couple look for owners and their dogs will be released, which is expected to receive enthusiastic responses from participants who had previously expressed regret.

The DaengDaeng T-shirt is available for optional purchase only by participants, and the souvenir package consists of 16 types of items including drinks and snacks for both dogs and their owners.

Yoon Myung-ho, CEO of 1986 Production, said, "While preparing for the 6th dog marathon ‘DaengDaeng Run,’ we are happy to share a sense of belonging with the real stars of DaengDaeng Run, the dogs, by producing the much-anticipated DaengDaeng T-shirts. We hope the COVID-19 situation improves soon so that participants wearing the official and DaengDaeng T-shirts can gather in one place for a cute event as soon as possible."

More detailed information about the souvenir package and the event can be found on the DaengDaeng Run official website.

The "DaengDaeng Run 2021" autumn marathon is a dog marathon where you can run anywhere in the country with your beloved dog, and participation tickets can be purchased through the official website.
