Seoul Race where participants design their own course and run remotely... 5,000 enthusiasts participate
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 20th that it will hold the online non-face-to-face Seoul Race '2021 Seoul Running Competition' from the 22nd to the 25th.
Participants can design their desired race course in Seoul's mountains and parks without restrictions on time or place, and run while measuring their own records and distances using a mobile running application.
The event categories are divided into two: the 'Run Plus Challenge (hereafter RunPlusChallenge)' category and the 'Free RunWalk' category. The 'RunPlusChallenge' category is a challenge mission to run 1 km more than the participant's target distance entered at the time of registration.
The 'Free RunWalk' category allows participants to exercise freely in daily life during the competition period, then submit photos via the official email or post certification photos with hashtags on their own SNS accounts, and receive mobile beverage gifticons.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government also conducted various pre-online events to share the meaning of the competition among participants, even though they cannot run together face-to-face. These included ▲‘SseudamRun Plogging’ practicing eco-friendly running ▲‘Life Run Cut’ filming running scenes at Nodeul Island ▲‘339 Run’ running 3 km daily for 3 days totaling 9 km ▲‘Blue Label Campaign’ personally practicing environmental pollution prevention, which helped raise interest in the competition.
