The 4th Mungyeong Youth Day “Running Festa: Omija Edition” will be held on Sep 19 at 5pm around the Sinbukcheon stream and nearby hot springs in Mungyeong-eup, with 5km and 10km courses. No direct public transit information to the exact stream course was found.
Mungyeong is a small city in Gyeongsangbuk-do with no subway or dedicated transit card system tied to the race; getting there is mainly by car or intercity/express bus from Seoul or Daegu. Local city buses still accept the nationwide T-money card, so it is worth carrying one, but cash or card at intercity bus terminals is the norm for arrival.
