On the morning of March 1st, the city held the Byeolsan Run, a running event to mark the March 1st Movement, in the Garaebi area of Gwangjeok-myeon. The event was designed to recall the historical significance of the Garaebi Independence Movement and to share the value of the March 1st Movement through the voluntary participation of citizens.

The event brought together a wide range of citizens, including families, colleagues, and friends. Before starting the run, participants wrote messages of gratitude to the independence patriots and attached them to the Taegeukgi (Korean national flag). The Taegeukgi, adorned with handwritten notes from citizens, became a symbol of the event, and participants held it together for commemorative photos, reflecting on the meaning of the March 1st Movement.

Participants then ran the 3.1-kilometer course, holding the Taegeukgi in their hands and physically experiencing the spirit of the Garaebi Independence Movement. Messages of gratitude and commitment, such as "We will remember" and "Long live Korean independence," resonated throughout the venue, creating a calm yet meaningful atmosphere.

Kim Youngjun, Public Relations Officer, said, "It was an occasion where citizens themselves expressed the meaning of the March 1st Movement," adding, "We will continue to develop the Byeolsan Run as Yangju City's representative citizen participation program and expand it into a program that brings together all generations and groups."

The entire event was filmed and will be released through the 'Yangju Byeolsan' YouTube channel.
