This year's event was designed as a sharing-centered festival with direct citizen participation, breaking away from repeated formats.

Singer Sean, well known for his social contribution activities, participated as a special guest at this event. One thousand citizens who completed online pre-registration joined the running course, and at Yeongrangho Lawn Square, welfare experience booths, a bazaar, and performances were held, creating a participatory festival atmosphere for people of all ages to enjoy.

Lee Byungseon, Mayor of Sokcho, said, "Each and every citizen who participated in the event is a true angel of donation and a key member of our warm welfare community in Sokcho. I would like to thank everyone involved for their cooperation in ensuring the event concluded safely. Moving forward, we will continue to expand welfare events that everyone can join, making sharing a part of everyday life in Sokcho."
