Gurye-gun Takes Initiative to Promote Residents' Health with Walking Event

In the Department Heads' Policy Discussion Meeting, Active Promotion Directed for a Successful Walking Event

Thorough Preparation Ordered to Ensure No Shortcomings in an Event Involving Many Gunmin Participants

[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yuk Miseok] Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do, will hold walking events, including a walking challenge to improve the health of its residents.

On the 17th, County Governor Kim Soon-ho held a policy discussion meeting with department heads and emphasized the thorough promotion of current tasks, such as walking events with residents as part of health improvement efforts.

At the meeting, Governor Kim instructed active promotion for the successful hosting of the Hwaeomsa Healing Trail Walking Challenge and the 2022 Residents' Health Walking Event. He also ordered active county administration, including promotion of events related to the Yeo-Sun October 19 Incident, prevention of forest fires through the autumn wildfire prevention and suppression team, and thorough submission of proposals and system improvement matters through the Mayors and County Governors Council.

With the easing of COVID-19 quarantine measures, outdoor activities have increased, and to promote a healthy lifestyle, Gurye-gun will operate a non-face-to-face walking challenge using the 'WalkOn' mobile app for about one month from October 17 to November 18.

During the operation period, any Gurye resident can participate. After checking the course using the 'WalkOn' app, walking the Hwaeom Valley 2nd Trail will automatically complete participation as the GPS detects the location.

A small event will also be held, where 100 participants will be selected by lottery to receive mountain tumblers.

Additionally, the Gurye-gun Sports Council will host the 2022 Residents' Health Walking Event to promote health improvement.

On the 20th at 3 p.m., participants will walk together on a course starting from the Public Sports Ground, passing through Gwangui Bridge, and returning to the Public Sports Ground, covering about 4 km.

A county official said, "We expect about 1,000 participants and will prepare thoroughly to make the walking event a successful one."
