2025 Sports Seoul Half Marathon Announces Additional Registration Amidst High Demand; K-Pop Performances to Highlight Event

The '2025 Sports Seoul Half Marathon,' which saw an early sell-out due to overwhelming runner interest towards the year-end, has decided to open additional registrations to reciprocate the participants' fervent support.

This special opportunity arises from partial vacancies created by cancellations within the initial registration period. It aims to offer runners who missed the application deadline another chance to participate and achieve their marathon goals. The registration period for this additional opening will extend until November 6th.

Esteemed cosmetic brand 'Real Barrier' is joining as the official cosmetic sponsor, promising special sample kits for participants and engaging on-site events. The theme of 'Skin Recovery After Running' is particularly generating high anticipation among young female runners. Furthermore, Gangseo K Hospital will serve as the official medical support partner, ensuring the safety and health of all runners on race day. An emergency response system will be in place to provide peace of mind.

Supported by various sponsors including Seoul City, the Korea Customs Service, and FCMM, this event is poised to evolve into a premier urban running festival, blending sports, health, and lifestyle.

Following the race, attendees can look forward to an awards ceremony, DJ performances, and celebratory stages by emerging K-pop groups SAY MY NAME and NEWBEAT. These artists are set to ignite the city and provide an unforgettable experience for runners celebrating their accomplishment.

A representative from Sports Seoul stated, "We are deeply grateful for the passion and support from our participants. We are making thorough preparations to ensure more runners can join us," adding, "We will strive to minimize any inconvenience and host a top-tier event that all participants can feel proud of."

Netizens expressed excitement with comments like, 'Wow, additional registration! I must sign up!', 'SAY MY NAME and NEWBEAT are performing? I'm running there now!', and 'Skin recovery samples, that's awesome! I need to take care of my skin after finishing.'
