Hwaseong Special City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Jeong Myeong-geun), said on November 15 that it held the “Walkathon for the Successful Hosting of the 2027 National Sports Festival and National Sports Festival for Persons with Disabilities” at Dongtan Lake Park on November 14.


The event, hosted by Hwaseong City and organized by the National Sports Festival Citizens' Promotion Committee, was held to increase public interest and participation ahead of next year's events.
