This equestrian competition will take place along the 10-kilometer Jangsu Horseback Riding Road, stretching from the Cheoncheon-myeon Jangsu International Equestrian Center to the Jangsu Equestrian Leisure Park in Jangsu-eup. The event features three endurance races (80 km, 40 km, and 10 km), five dressage events (youth and integrated divisions), eight show jumping events (from 50 class to 110 class), and three special events (KHIS-7, relay, and mounted games).

With participants of various ages and in a wide range of disciplines coming together to compete, this equestrian competition is expected to help broaden the base of the horse riding industry in Jangsu County and establish horseback riding as a sport that is easily accessible to everyone, regardless of age or gender.

Choi Hunsik, the county governor, stated, "I hope this competition becomes a festival where athletes, visitors, and local residents can all come together and enjoy themselves," adding, "We will continue to do our best to make the horse riding industry a leading tourism and leisure resource for the region."

Meanwhile, the Jangsu International Equestrian Center is equipped with the largest indoor riding facility in Korea, providing an optimal environment for hosting competitions year-round, regardless of season or weather. As a result, various national equestrian competitions are regularly held here, making it a venue for technical exchange among equestrians and a unique attraction for both residents and tourists.
