Chuncheon, a picturesque lakeside city in Gangwon Province, northeast of Seoul, is set to host its first-ever Peace Walk on September 17. The event, timed to coincide with the 2026 World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships, which run from September 16-20, aims to bring together local residents and international visitors for a scenic stroll along a lakeside route.
Organized by GCS International in collaboration with World Taekwondo, Chuncheon City, The Korea Times, and the Chuncheon Leisure Taekwondo Organizing Committee, the walk offers a unique opportunity for athletes, officials, and spectators to enjoy the city's natural beauty while taking a break from the indoor arenas. The 4-kilometer course begins at 10 a.m. at the Songam Sports Town Inline Skating Arena, leading participants to the Uiamho Skywalk, a glass observation platform suspended over Uiam Lake.
