28th Citizens Health Run

The 28th Citizens' Health Run is set to take place on Sunday, October 18, 2026, inviting residents of Gyeongsangnam-do and beyond to participate in this vibrant community event. Organized by the Citizens' Coalition for the Love of Changwon, the run aims to promote health and foster a sense of unity among city dwellers.
Registration opens on August 5 at 9:00 AM through September 20 at 5:00 PM, with an early closure based on first-come-first-served basis. The event is limited to 3,000 participants who must be in sixth grade or older and physically capable of completing the course.
The run begins at the Changwon Sports Complex Auxiliary Stadium and follows a scenic route through central Changwon, showcasing key landmarks such as the Stadium West Gate, Yongji Intersection, Hillstate Changwon The First, Samdong Park Intersection, Chunghontap Intersection, and Moonseong University. Participants can expect to encounter diverse urban settings including residential areas, parks, and educational institutions.
The event starts at 10:00 AM following an opening ceremony held earlier in the morning from 9:30 AM onwards. The course has a time limit of one hour for completion, and while official timing is not provided by organizers, participants are encouraged to embrace the experience rather than focusing solely on performance metrics.
Safety measures include medical staff stationed along the route and at designated points within Changwon Sports Complex. Event-related liability insurance covers all registered runners, ensuring peace of mind as they navigate through this community-driven event.
Post-race activities feature an awards program and a prize drawing for finishers starting from 11:00 AM, though specific details about prizes have yet to be announced by the organizers. Participants are advised to confirm their medical fitness before registering due to the physical nature of the course.
Join fellow residents on October 18th in Changwon as you contribute to a healthier community while enjoying the unique charm and spirit of central Changwon's streets.
