2022 International Children's Marathon Held in Jeonju 'Successfully Concluded'

Children Participate in Three Recommended Courses Including Deokjin Park and Sebyeong Park

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hanho] To celebrate Children's Week in May and support all children to grow up healthy and happy, the international marathon held in Jeonju City was successfully conducted.

Jeonju City announced on the 9th that, together with Save the Children and others, it held the '2022 International Children's Marathon' for three days from the 5th to the 7th at Deokjin Park and other locations throughout Jeonju City.

At this International Children's Marathon, all participants conveyed a message to guarantee the survival rights of children worldwide under the slogan, "A small step saves the lives of newborns."

In particular, this marathon combined offline event venues such as recommended courses and photo zones with a non-face-to-face Run+Untact running method. Participants ran 4 km anywhere they wished over three days using the official International Children's Marathon app.

Additionally, they completed missions to protect the survival rights of newborns, which were delivered as notifications every time they ran 1 km.

During the event period, Jeonju City also set up three offline venues at Deokjin Park, Sebyeong Park, and the National Intangible Heritage Center. Besides the marathon, on-site events that children and families could enjoy together were held, including photo zones for completion certification photos and writing a Children's Declaration commemorating the 100th Children's Day.

Meanwhile, the participation fee for this event (15,000 KRW per person) will be fully used through Save the Children to reduce maternal and newborn mortality rates among ethnic minorities in Vietnam and support healthy lives.
