On September 17th, the inaugural Chuncheon Peace Walk is set to take place in the picturesque lakeside city of Chuncheon, situated in northeastern Korea's Gangwon Province. The event is a collaboration between GCS International, World Taekwondo, The Korea Times, Chuncheon City, and the Chuncheon Leisure Taekwondo Organizing Committee. The walk will mark the lead-up to the 2026 World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships, scheduled from September 16th to 20th.
The Peace Walk invites both locals and international visitors to participate in a scenic lakeside stroll. The outdoor course has been carefully designed to provide athletes, officials, and spectators with an opportunity to take a break from the indoor competition arenas and appreciate the region's beautiful autumn scenery. The route spans a flat, 4-kilometer round trip from Songam Sports Town Inline Skating Arena to the Uiamho Skywalk, a glass observation platform perched over the serene waters of Uiam Lake.
Participants can register on-site starting at 8 a.m. with no cost involved. Every participant who completes the walk will be acknowledged.
