The event will support the practice of walking in daily life and promote a healthy lifestyle atmosphere. It will also operate a unified dementia overcoming promotion booth and photo zone to improve negative perceptions and raise awareness about dementia. Additionally, a campaign for obesity prevention, including body composition measurement, will be conducted.

This event features a walking course along Geumosan Ollegil, one of the nine ‘Gumi City’s Best Walking Trails.’ Participants who complete the three stamps along the Ollegil will receive a completion souvenir.

After the walk, participants can enjoy a picnic with family, lovers, and friends while taking in the scenery of Geumosan. Gumi citizens who wish to participate can simply arrive during the event hours on the day without prior registration.

As a treasure hunt event, which is an essential part of the picnic, participants can take photos of the walking guide signs installed along the Ollegil to verify or post them on SNS with hashtags to receive generous gifts.

Choi Hyun-joo, the head of the Health Center, said, “I hope this walking event will be a step forward not only in promoting citizens’ health but also in overcoming dementia. In the month of family, May, I hope everyone takes care of their health with their families and creates precious memories.”
