The 2026 Youth Day Namdong Run is a youth-participation running festival that connects young people, the local community, culture, and entrepreneurship through running. Runners from across the country come together in Namdong for one festival, creating a day to run, connect, and enjoy.

The event takes place at Incheon Grand Park and features 5 km and 10 km main races. Participants can celebrate Youth Day while running through downtown Namdong on the race course.

On event day, performances, interactive booths, a youth startup zone, and a local food zone are all available. It is more than just a race, because you can also enjoy the Youth Day ceremony and on-site events.

All participants receive shipped gifts, including a UV-block sports mask, a cooling towel, and a reusable shopper bag. On the day of the race, changing rooms and baggage storage are provided, and on-site registration is not available, so applications must be completed online.

Anyone in good physical condition can participate, but runners under 14 need a legal guardian’s consent and may only join the 5 km race. Pets and strollers are not allowed at the venue or on the course.
