Feel like racing up Wolchulsan for charity?

A local teacher has organized a "King of the Mountain" race up Yeongam county's Wolchulsan, one of the region's most scenic and most popular mountains. It will take place on May 9th, will cost 5,000 won per person, and will have all proceeds going toward an orphanage in Yeosu. More on the website:

Prizes will be given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places, and a certificate for all who enter. Although sponsorship is not mandatory, a prize will also be given for the person who raises the most money for the orphanage.

Even if you don't think you're up for the challenge of racing over a mountain, please join in and do a "fun run / walk" with your friends.

Registration will be from 9am.

The race will start at 10am. (Weather permitting)
