Wally Run brings the world of Where’s Wally? to the streets of Seoul. This 5K and 10K themed running event will be held on June 21, 2026, at Yeouido Park, with around 9,000 participants expected to take part.
Unlike a traditional race focused only on speed and records, Wally Run is all about enjoying the experience. It combines running, character-themed fun, starter packs, finisher gifts, and event-day activities into one cheerful urban running event. Whether you are a beginner runner, joining with friends, or simply looking for a more playful race atmosphere, this event is designed to feel approachable and enjoyable.
Participants will receive a Wally Run starter pack including a uniform, socks, string bag, and race bib. After finishing the race, runners will also receive a wellness-themed finisher pack. On-site experience booths are also planned, making the event more than just a start-to-finish race.
Registration is available exclusively through CJ OnStyle in Korea, starting from May 18, 2026, through a mobile live commerce broadcast. Shinhan Card customers can register one day earlier from May 17 and receive a 20% discount when paying with Shinhan Card.
If you are looking for a lighthearted 5K or 10K event in Seoul, Wally Run could be a fun one to add to your race calendar.
