Dongdaemun-gu (District Mayor Choi Dongmin) announced on October 19 that it will hold the “2026 Dongdaemun-gu Residents' Unity Walking Day” at 7 a.m. on October 24 at Baebongsan Open Plaza. The event is organized by the Dongdaemun-gu Sports Council and sponsored by the district.

The event will begin with a pre-ceremony performance, an opening ceremony, and warm-up exercises with a youth jump-rope demonstration team. Participants will walk an approximately 4.5-kilometer course along the Baebongsan Mountain Trail, then return to the Open Plaza to enjoy performances and a prize drawing. The trail has barrier-free wooden decking, so wheelchair users and people with strollers can also take part.

Prizes include a side-by-side refrigerator, TVs, bicycles, and household goods. Raffle tickets will be distributed at the course turnaround point. The prizes and performances are sponsored by 10 local organizations and businesses, including the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, Lotte Department Store's Cheongnyangni branch, Sahmyook Seoul Hospital, and KB Kookmin Bank.

District Mayor Choi Dongmin said, “I hope this will be a meaningful time for people to look after their health and connect with one another as they walk with family, friends, and neighbors. I look forward to many residents taking part, sharing the joy of walking together, and strengthening bonds with their neighbors.”
