The 2026 Seonyang Bare-Chested Marathon: stepping beyond the past and future to become a single light
Welcome the new year with a start on 1/1 at 11:11:11!
In 2015/1, we took off our shirts and ran 10km along Gapcheon in Daejeon with our employees.
Although it was cold as temperatures dropped sharply, we followed the Gapcheon path past Hanbat Arboretum, Yurim Park, KAIST, and Expo Science Park,
weaving between nature and the city, admiring beautiful reed beds and clear waterways, and experiencing it all fully with our bare bodies.
After experiencing it firsthand, we thought it would be wonderful to welcome the new year with more people,
so we launched the Bare-Chested Marathon in 2016.
Before we knew it, it had become a distinctive New Year's event drawing participants from across the country.
To make the new year of 2026 even more enjoyable,
and in the hope that everyone will start the new year in good health,
we have prepared a variety of events and special prizes to add to the fun.
In 2026, stepping beyond the past and future to become a single light,
we hope you will create special memories with those dear to you.
Please take care to stay safe in the cold weather as you enjoy the event.
Thank you.
