10K Mickey Course

* Fee: 80,000 KRW

* Age Requirement: Recommended for participants aged 14 and above who are in good physical health.

* Timing System: Features an official timing chip attached to the back of the race bib. Timing is measured using the Net-Time method (from the moment you cross the start line to the finish line). The timing chip is single-use and does not need to be returned after the race.

* Awards: Trophies and prizes are awarded to the top 3 male and female finishers. Official rankings are determined by Gun Time (elapsed time from the official start gun to the finish line). Registered athletes with the Korea Association of Athletics Federations (or those deregistered within the last 3 years) are ineligible for awards.

5K Winnie the Pooh Course

* Fee: 65,000 KRW

* Age Requirement: Open to all ages. Participants under 14 years old must be accompanied by a guardian who has also registered and purchased a ticket.

* Timing System: No official timing chip is provided. Participants can track their timing independently using personal GPS running apps.

* Safety Restrictions: For safety reasons, strollers, children's bicycles, wheelchairs, and other mobility devices are strictly prohibited on the course.

Practical Tips

Registration and Refund Policies

* Personal Entry Only: Registration is strictly personal. Transferring, reselling, or substitute running under another person's name is prohibited. Unauthorised transfers render insurance coverage invalid in the event of an accident.

* Domestic Address Required: Registration requires a domestic South Korean delivery address to receive the race bib and souvenir package.

* Cancellation Deadlines: Full refunds are available until 18 September 2026 at 5:00 PM for the main event (or within 24 hours of payment if registered after the deadline). After the refund period closes, cancellations, address changes, and size modifications are strictly disallowed.

On-Site Logistics

* Baggage Storage: Storage facilities operate on event day from 07:00 AM to 17:00 PM at Sangsang Platform and 1883 Open Port Square. Valuables should not be checked in, and large items like luggage suitcases may be restricted based on venue space. Any unclaimed items after 17:00 PM will be transferred to the central administrative office.

* Race Day Bibs: Ensure your bib is pinned securely to your front chest. For 10K runners, do not fold or damage the timing chip attached to the back of the bib.
