The course runs about 7 km round trip through Dosan Park, Dosan-daero (Apgujeong Rodeo and Cheongdam Luxury Street), Cheongdam Neighborhood Park, and Samsung Sunrise Park. About 250 participants will be divided into six groups and run together under the coaching of professional running instructors.

In addition, ▲ on November 10th, "Real Gangnam Story," where participants can explore Gangnam's development from the 1970s on-site at Apgujeong Apartments, Daechi-dong Academy District, and Eunma Shopping Center ▲ on November 16th, "Bongeunsa Temple Life" in the city and a "Seonjeongneung Walk" wearing hanbok with a guide ▲ on November 24th, "K-POP Idol Experience," which includes K-POP dance and makeup classes, will follow. Detailed schedules and reservations/applications can be found on the "Visit Gangnam" website.

Jo Seong-myeong, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, stated, "Recently, tourism content has shifted from simply visiting attractions to providing special experiences," and added, "We will continue to develop experiential content unique to Gangnam to widely promote Gangnam's charm to both domestic and international visitors."
