Participants ran a 4.82 km course that included areas such as Lost Valley and Safari World, which were previously accessible only by vehicle.

This year’s program was designed so that attendees could directly experience Samsung Health’s integrated health management features, from pre-event missions to record certification activities on the day of the event. Before the event, participants used the Galaxy Watch8 Series and exclusive Samsung Health features such as: ▲assessing their current level with the Running Coach, ▲checking sleep patterns with Sleep Coaching, ▲verifying practice run records, and ▲measuring antioxidant index.

On the day of the event, participants did a light running warm-up with Kwon Eunju, former national marathoner and Samsung Health ambassador, then put on their watches and ran while using Samsung Health to check their current heart rate, section record, and adjust their pace in real time.

Samsung Electronics provided all finishers with a commemorative medal in the shape of the Galaxy Watch8 and an Everland admission ticket. Various on-site events were also held, including a congratulatory performance by singer Sean, a best-dressed award, and a lucky draw.

Park Jungmi, Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics Korea, stated, "This year's event was designed so participants could experience their health routines in everyday life, from running to sleep and condition management, using the Galaxy Watch8 Series and Samsung Health. We will continue to expand diverse programs so that customers can easily and enjoyably experience watch-based healthcare features."
