Join the “Relaxed Hangang Triathlon Festival” this weekend (June 1-2) at Ttukseom Hangang Park. Over two days, participants can swim, cycle, and run at their own pace.

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, known for his passion for sports, will join the triathlon. Since April 23, 9,800 people have registered. An additional 200 spots will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for on-site registration.

Participants must present ID at the registration booth to receive a wristband, required for all events. Minors need a parental consent form, and all participants must bring swimwear and a swim cap.

The festival will feature “FUN Experience Zones” with activities like fitness tests, Hangang sports events, silent DJ parties, and live shows. Check the Seoul Sports Portal for pre-registration or on-site registration details.

Safety personnel, lifeguards, and medical staff will ensure safety throughout the event. The Hangang River’s water quality was tested in April and May and deemed “very good” for swimming.
