During the event period, Deokjin Park and Sebyeong Park will have a 4 km recommended course and photo zones where participants can freely enjoy and promote various play spaces in Jeonju City, such as Mamkkeot Forest Playground, and take marathon participation certification photos.

The marathon is open to people of all ages and genders, and 2,000 participants will be recruited through the International Children's Marathon website.

The participation fee is 15,000 KRW per person, and all participants will receive various souvenirs such as a T-shirt, a completion commemorative medal, a mat (for adults), and a backpack (for children).

All participation fees will be used by Save the Children for the Safe Back to School project, which aims to reduce educational gaps caused by COVID-19.
