Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Lee Gi-jae) announced that it will hold the "13th Yangcheon Marathon" starting at the Anyangcheon Haemaru Soccer Field on April 27, and is recruiting participants to run together from January 22 to April 2.

The "Yangcheon Marathon," which was spectacularly revived last year after 8 years to promote residents' vitality and expand the base of community sports, was successfully held with about 4,600 participants. This year, the course has been changed from the existing Anyangcheon-centered route to the Han River Gayang Bridge direction for the half marathon and 10km courses, allowing participants to fully enjoy the waterfront scenery and spring views.

Moreover, reflecting the fact that many families and couples participated in last year's event, the district added new event courses such as the "10km Couple Run" and "5km Family Run" in addition to the existing half marathon, 10km, and 5km courses. The district also plans to strengthen promotion targeting nationwide marathon clubs to encourage participation mainly by actual marathon runners.

In addition, a well-organized safety management plan will be implemented, including deploying a one-person emergency rescue team called the "Race Patrol," who will be the first to rush to the scene and provide emergency measures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation in case of emergencies during the marathon.

The registration period for the 13th Yangcheon Marathon is from January 22 to April 2, and applications can be made online on a first-come, first-served basis through the dedicated registration website.

The participation fee is 30,000 KRW for the half marathon, 10km, and Couple Run courses, and 15,000 KRW for the 5km and Family Run courses. Functional T-shirts, sports taping bands, and other souvenirs will also be provided for participants.

Various side events such as award ceremonies for finishers by course, experience booths, and performances are also prepared.

The event will gather at 8 a.m. on April 27 at the lower part of Sinjeonggyo Bridge at Haemaru Soccer Field, with a pre-performance and opening ceremony, and the half marathon course will start around 8:30 a.m.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, "We hope many citizens will show interest and participate in this Yangcheon Marathon, where you can fully enjoy spring and experience vitality and a sense of accomplishment."
