It's another marathon, this time at Misari Racecourse.

The Seoul Olympic Memorial Marathon (88RUN) is scheduled to be held on September 12 at Misari Racecourse Park.

The Comprehensive Division of Track and Cycle Racing under the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation began recruiting participants for the 'Seoul Olympic Memorial Marathon (88 RUN)' event, set to take place on September 12 at Misari Racecourse Park in Hanam, starting from 11 a.m. on August 14.

This event was organized to reflect with the public on the history and significance of the 1988 Seoul Olympics and to carry forward the legacy of the Seoul Olympics into community sports and participatory festivals. The competition will recruit 1,988 participants on a first-come, first-served basis, matching the symbolic number '1988' of the Seoul Olympics, with an entry fee of 10,000 won.

The event will commence at 8:30 a.m. on September 12 at Misari Racecourse Park and will include various categories such as 10km, 5km, and family runs. Unlike traditional marathons focused on record competition, this event is designed as a community sports festival where families, friends, and couples can run and enjoy together, allowing people of all ages to participate without burden.

In particular, on the day of the event, in addition to running, various programs for the whole family to enjoy will be prepared. Activities include family experiences themed around the Olympics, sports exhibitions and hands-on experiences, promotional booths from sports companies, and campaigns to eradicate illegal gambling.

A representative from the Comprehensive Division of Track and Cycle Racing stated, "88 RUN is a special community sports festival where citizens can directly run and enjoy while continuing the emotion and meaning of the 1988 Seoul Olympics."
