The sports competitions will focus on fostering community unity among residents rather than inter-neighborhood rivalry. Four events will be held: the "Vision Ball Relay," where participants roll a ball on a large cloth; the "Air Stick Relay," where teams race around a course with an inflatable stick; the "Dream Pillar Challenge," where participants throw ball pool balls into an inflatable pillar; and the "Giant Baton Relay," a relay race with teams of eight. These games are designed so people of all ages can participate, and enthusiastic cheering is expected to further heighten the excitement of the event.

During lunchtime, there will be special games for families, as well as a variety of experience booths, including a ball pool playground and face painting. Additional festivities such as performances by invited singers, prize drawings, and neighborhood food booths will offer a wide array of entertainment throughout the day.

In particular, this event will officially declare the "Year of Community Sports." Geumcheon District has designated this year as the starting point for promoting community sports and plans to actively implement various policies and programs aimed at creating an environment where all residents can naturally enjoy exercise and sports in their daily lives.

Geumcheon District Mayor Yoo Sung-hoon stated, "We have prepared this meaningful occasion to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the district's founding together with our residents. I hope it will be a precious time for everyone to cheer each other on, laugh, and come together," adding, "We will continue to organize a variety of resident participation events to keep Geumcheon vibrant in the future."
