Gathering will begin at 8:30 AM, with staggered start times for each course: 9:00 AM for the Half Marathon, 9:10 AM for the 10km, and 9:20 AM for the 5km.

Participants can freely choose the course that best suits their fitness level and preferences. The race is open to all healthy men and women regardless of age, reflecting the event's aim to promote health and invigorate the local community through running.
However, registered athletes with the Korea Association of Athletics Federation and those whose athlete registration was cancelled less than two years ago will be excluded from awards. This measure is in place to ensure fair competition for non-registered participants. Registration is open until 24:00 on Friday, March 27, 2026, exclusively online. Please register promptly as spaces may fill up quickly.

This event will utilize the scenic flower paths along the Seomjin River as its course, offering participants an experience of spring alongside a refreshing run. The unique joy of running while appreciating the expansive Seomjin River scenery and vibrant flowers is something not found in typical marathon courses.
