As public interest in running continues to grow, marathon events are gaining increasing popularity across the country. In November, members of the SUNBO Family joined marathon events held in the Busan and Honam regions, experiencing the excitement of the running community firsthand.
First, on November 16, 82 employees from the Busan operations participated in the 27th Kookje Shinmun Busan Marathon, held at Dadaepo Beach.
Known among the SUNBO Family as the “One-Heart Marathon,” this event features 5 km, 10 km, and half-marathon courses along wide coastal roads, allowing participants to enjoy the scenic beauty of Busan while running.
Before the 9:00 AM start time, employees gathered at the event venue with their families and colleagues. At the dedicated SUNBO Group booth, participants warmed up, enjoyed refreshments, and prepared for the race in a relaxed atmosphere. While chatting in small groups and taking commemorative photos, they also enjoyed lively performances that signaled the start of the event.
Chairman Geum-Sik Choi, along with other executives and employees, also visited the venue. Some participants enjoyed a light walk with their families, while others challenged themselves with personal goals for the race. The gathering created a warm and friendly atmosphere as the SUNBO Family shared encouragement, good wishes, and commemorative photos together.
Following this event, employees from the Honam operations participated in the Kim Dae-jung Marathon, held on November 23 at Mokpo Sports Complex Stadium. This marathon is one of the representative running events in the Honam region and also features 5 km, 10 km, and half-marathon courses.
This year’s race routes included a 5 km course toward the Daeyang Industrial Complex, a 10 km course turning around near the Sapjin Industrial Complex and passing through the Daeyang Industrial Complex before returning to the stadium, and a half-marathon course extending to the return point near Ongeum Neighborhood Park.
Alongside approximately 5,200 participants, including members of 18 local clubs and organizations, the SUNBO Family enjoyed running through local landmarks while taking time to focus on their health and well-being.
