The "Five Senses Trail" is an experiential program designed to promote trail tourism in Gangwon and operated as a complex content combining trail running and trekking. This event attracted a diverse range of participants, from runners who enjoy record-setting and challenges to general tourists seeking relaxation in nature, each enjoying the course in their own way. The event also gained further meaning by involving the local community of Wonju, thereby strengthening its symbolism as an experiential tourism content that breathes together with the region.

Participants experienced the nature of the Smoosan Dullegil, following routes structured by difficulty level, and enjoyed special experiences that stimulated their five senses: seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and feeling. They took in the breathtaking views along mountain and valley courses, listened to the sounds of flowing water, breathed in fresh forest scents, tasted local delicacies, and enjoyed a unique sensory healing experience that can only be found on the Smoosan Dullegil.

At the event site, booths selling local specialties and a Wonju tourist information center were also set up. Before the start, various experiential activities such as the Air Ball event, the Stick Grabbing game, and Run Gangwon were organized, further enhancing the atmosphere on site.

Additionally, in connection with the ongoing "Five Senses Trail Certification Challenge," participants actively took part in course certification using the location-based BAC app, adding even more enjoyment to the event.
