The inaugural Chuncheon Peace Walk is set to take place on September 17 in Chuncheon, a picturesque lakeside city nestled in northeastern Korea's Gangwon Province, approximately 75 kilometers northeast of Seoul. This event, organized by GCS International, World Taekwondo, The Korea Times, Chuncheon City, and the Chuncheon Leisure Taekwondo Organizing Committee, aims to celebrate the upcoming 2026 World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships, scheduled from September 16-20.
The Peace Walk offers residents and international visitors the opportunity to enjoy a scenic lakeside stroll along a specially designed course. This course is thoughtfully constructed to provide a break from the indoor competition arenas for athletes, officials, and spectators alike, allowing them to appreciate the region's renowned autumn landscape.
The outdoor route begins at 10:00 am at the Songam Sports Town Inline Skating Arena, where participants will gather before embarking on a flat, 4-kilometer round trip to the Uiamho Skywalk.
The Uiamho Skywalk is a remarkable glass observation platform suspended gracefully over the tranquil waters of Uiam Lake. On-site registration opens at 8 a.m., and participation in the Peace Walk is completely free of charge. Upon completing the walk, every finisher will be celebrated for their contribution to this unique and peaceful event.
