Participants ran a 6-kilometer course that started at the auxiliary stadium inside Changwon Sports Park, passed through the west gate, Meeting Plaza, Yongji Intersection, Korea Polytechnics VII, and Chung-hon Tower Intersection, and returned to the starting point. Finishers also had the chance to win prizes, adding to their enjoyment.

To ensure participants’ safety, the city deployed police, firefighting personnel, and safety staff at key points and managed vehicle traffic to minimize inconvenience to residents. Before the event, it informed nearby residents about traffic controls and the schedule to minimize disruption when they went out.

Changwon Mayor Kang Giyun said, “I hope today will be an enjoyable time for families, neighbors, and colleagues to run through the city center while cheering one another on,” adding, “I look forward to seeing residents’ energetic strides come together to make Changwon a vibrant city.”

Knowing that residents are becoming increasingly interested in their health, Changwon City should spare no effort in supporting the creation of a living environment with spaces where people can exercise in the city center.
