Seoul Blocks Hangang Ultra Marathon Again, Warns of Criminal Complaint

Seoul City has again stated that it will not permit the Seoul Hangang Ultra Marathon scheduled for the 16th around Ttukseom Hangang Park, citing serious safety concerns. The main issue is safety management, as the event could draw a crowd of about 30,000 people. After organizers signaled they would push ahead with the race, the city announced a firm response. Seoul warned that if the event proceeds despite its refusal, it will apply a zero-tolerance stance and consider measures including a criminal complaint. As tension grows over whether the event will be held, the city says public safety remains its top priority. Source: mk.co.kr
