[비즈한국] 'Burning RUN,' which has gained a reputation among runners as a 'hip' running festival, is returning in November. Thanks to the enthusiastic popularity among runners, Bizhankook, the host of the event, will hold 'Burning RUN Eleven' this coming November, following its previous event in May. Burning RUN Eleven will kick off at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, November 30, at the Peace Plaza in Peace Park, Sangam World Cup Park, Seoul.
The race courses consist of 5km, 7km, and 10km distances. Starting from the Peace Plaza in Peace Park, the 5km course will turn around at Nanji Stream Park, the 7km course at World Cup Nanji Sports Park, and the 10km course near the Nanji Hangang Park Summer Police Station.
Timing chips will be provided for the 7km and 10km courses, and prize money and gifts will be awarded to the top 3 male and female finishers in both courses. In the 10km category, the 1st place winner will receive 800,000 won, 2nd place 600,000 won, and 3rd place 500,000 won in prize money and gifts, while 4th and 5th places will receive gifts. For the 7km, 1st place will receive 500,000 won, 2nd place 300,000 won, and 3rd place 100,000 won in prize money and gifts, while 4th and 5th places will receive gifts. The gifts are jumpsuits from BOLDWORKS.
All participants will receive a 'Race Pack' consisting of a running vest, a timing chip (for 10km/7km), a bib number, a finisher medal, a mobile record certificate, snacks, and drinks. Some souvenirs may be subject to change depending on the organizer's circumstances. For convenience, a luggage storage area and changing rooms will be provided.
The highlight of Burning RUN is the 'After Party,' which receives an 'insane' level of response from participants. If you post on social media using the hashtags '#BurningRUN' and '#BurningRUN11' at the Burning RUN photo zone, you can compete for prizes in events held during the After Party, hosted by MC Kim Wan-ki, a comedian formerly of MBC. Participants can also receive prizes through various events and games at booths hosted by participating companies such as Monomano, Labia, Belthon, Muto Teams, Jonber Sports, Choco Health, and Woman Sense.
Registration for Burning RUN Eleven is available on the official Burning RUN website. The application period runs from 1:00 p.m. on Monday, September 22, to 1:00 p.m. on Friday, November 14. Registration is limited to the first 3,000 applicants, and souvenirs will be shipped on Wednesday, November 19. On-site registration on the day of the event is not available.
