Cheonan City in Chungnam is publicly recruiting torch relay runners for the 77th Chungcheongnam-do Provincial Sports Festival, which will be held from June 12 to 15. Applications are open until the 25th of this month.

Starting with this year's event, teams will be recruited instead of individual runners, allowing families or acquaintances to run together.

Eligible applicants are citizens who can complete a distance of 150 to 300 meters. A total of 31 teams, or about 100 people, will be selected.

Selected runners will receive a uniform, running shoes, and a runner's certificate.

Those interested can apply in person at their local administrative welfare center (based on their residence, workplace, or school) by the application deadline, or download the application form from the city's website and submit it via email.

The torch relay will begin with a nighttime lighting ceremony at the Tower of the People in the Independence Hall on June 10, and continue until the opening day on the 12th.

The flame will burn at the Cheonan Sports Complex cauldron from that day until the 15th.
