Songpa-gu (Mayor Seo Gang-seok) will hold a large-scale walking challenge at Seokchon Lake on the 21st, with about 900 citizens participating.

The ‘Songpa Health Walking Challenge’ was planned to help residents develop continuous healthy habits through walking exercises that are easy to practice in daily life.

To this end, the district is collaborating with ‘Challengers,’ a well-known habit-forming platform company. During the COVID-19 period, Challengers became widely recognized for encouraging voluntary healthy habits through the app’s 6 AM wake-up mission called ‘Miracle Morning.’

Participants must complete the walking mission of 2 laps (5 km) around Seokchon Lake at 10 AM on May 21 and verify it through the Challengers app. Upon successful verification, the participation fee of 10,000 KRW will be refunded as points. Participants will also receive souvenirs such as two types of sunscreen, smart patches, and reusable packs.

Additionally, various experiential events such as a photo zone with Songpa-gu’s character ‘Hahaha Hoho,’ calligraphy, cotton candy corner, lucky draw, and roulette event are prepared so that not only challenge participants but anyone can enjoy the experience.

Moreover, the district is making efforts to strengthen sports infrastructure and expand exercise classes so that residents can enjoy various daily sports activities. Representative initiatives include ▲inspection and management system establishment for outdoor exercise equipment ▲creation of a loess path for barefoot walking ▲holding the residents’ sports competition for the first time in four years ▲improvement of facilities and diversification of programs in community sports classes.

Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, said, “As one of the strategic tasks of the 8th elected administration, we selected ‘City of Community Sports’ and have been focusing on budget and policy support related to community sports since its establishment. We will continue to actively discover community sports projects that residents can easily and enjoyably participate in so that everyone can enjoy a healthy and vibrant leisure life.”
