Kakao Recruits Participants for Korea One Round Challenge

Kakao announced on the 19th that it is recruiting challengers to participate in the 'One Round Korea Challenge' campaign, held to commemorate the full opening of the Korea Dullegil trail, until the 1st of next month.

The 'One Round Korea Challenge' is a campaign to walk divided sections of Korea Dullegil, the longest domestic trail course of 4,500 km created by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization. Anyone residing in Korea who enjoys exercise and travel can apply individually or form a team of up to four people.

The final participants, selected considering age, gender, and usual exercise levels, will walk one of the nine divided courses of Korea Dullegil (about 500 km per person). From October 1 to November 30, participants will walk and verify their progress according to their preferred schedule over two months.

Korea Dullegil is an ultra-long-distance walking travel route connecting the outskirts of Korea as one, consisting of the East Sea Haeparang Trail opened in 2016, the South Sea Nampalang Trail, the West Sea Seohaerang Trail, and the DMZ Peace Trail scheduled to open at the end of next month.

Through this challenge, Kakao aims to encourage low-carbon travel, promote public health, and revitalize the local economy.

Before the challenge begins, Kakao will support challengers with safety kits to ensure a safe completion, and those who complete the challenge will receive a prize of 2 million KRW, a certificate, and a limited edition medal.

Jung Shin-ah, CEO of Kakao, said, "We hope many people will take an interest in the One Round Korea Challenge and Korea Dullegil," adding, "We will continue to provide enjoyable travel experiences for users and a foundation for mutual growth in the local economy through various ESG activities that promote domestic travel."
