The Korean Racing Association, which has been conducting night races in spring and autumn since this year, has been praised for expanding contact with ordinary citizens and implementing horse races that are enjoyed like festivals by combining cherry blossom festivals and night races under the theme of 'Cherry Blossom Night View - The Miracle Night' this spring.
In the fall, K-riding as a sport will be introduced by organizing a number of large target and special races such as overseas exchange races, Munhwa Ilbo Cup, and Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Governor's Cup, which symbolizes the internationalization of Korean racing.
In particular, the Korea Cup has been designated as the Breeders' Cup Challenge Race where the winner will win the right to participate in the world's highest horse race, the Breeders' Cup World Championship.
As Let's Run Park Seoul serves as an urban park near Gwacheon, it will provide customer events such as various horse racing experiences and busking performances in a free picnic atmosphere under the theme of the Night Horseback Festival. In particular, from August 31 to September 8, when the Korea Cup is held, Let's Run Park's unique contents such as a handmade beer pop-up store and a pony parade will be introduced only on Saturdays and Sundays.
In addition, the Horse Museum, where various exhibitions such as special exhibitions and invitation artist exhibitions are prepared, the amazing space on the viewing stand where you can see Gyeongju up close, and the beginner horse racing class, which can enhance your understanding of horses and horse racing, are one of the hidden fun elements of Let's Run Park Seoul.
An official from the Korea Racing Authority said, `Lately, Let's Run Park Seoul is gaining popularity with family members, friends, and lovers visiting in addition to watching Gyeongju"I hope you have a healing time to forget the heat for a while while cheering for the racehorse running at full speed."
