This event is organized by the Imsil County Sports Council and the Jeonbuk Ecotourism Promotion Support Center, with a participation fee of 10,000 won per person. Registration is open until September 19 through the websites of Imsil County Office, the Imsil County Sports Council, and the Jeonbuk Ecotourism Promotion Support Center. Participation is limited to the first 300 applicants.


Over the past three years, the county has invested 10 billion won to newly construct the 4-kilometer Bungoe Island Trail, allowing visitors to experience the scenic beauty of Okjeongho Bungoe Island up close. Participants will walk an approximately 6-kilometer course, starting from the Yang Daebak General Unam Battlefield, which commemorates the victory over Japanese forces during the Imjin War, passing through the Bungoe Island Trail and the suspension bridge, and ending at the Bungoe Island Ecological Park.


On the day of the event, shuttle buses will operate from Jeonju World Cup Stadium and Ssangam-ri Parking Lot in Unam-myeon to the event venue starting at 8 a.m. to facilitate participants' transportation. Lunch and souvenirs will be provided to participants, and Cheonrigil guides and safety staff will be stationed along the course to ensure a pleasant and safe event. As side events, local music bands and a Nanta performance will be held as pre-event entertainment.



A representative of the Imsil County Sports Council stated, "This walking event, set against the backdrop of Okjeongho and Bungoe Island, will be a special opportunity to enjoy both health and culture in nature. We hope that many people will participate, experience the charm of Imsil, and help revitalize the local economy."
