A walking marathon was held at 4 p.m. on Saturday October 13th at Dongguk University. The alumni and their family gathered to participate in this event at Manhae Plaza to walk along the trekking trails of Nam Mountain. Before they went to walk on the mountain, there was a short opening ceremony to welcome those people who came to participate. The welcoming speech was given by one of the members of the General Alumni Union. The participants encouraged and shared words of blessings each other while they climbing up to the pavilion of Nam Mountain. After finishing their walk, they came back to the campus and ate dinner at the Sanglokwon cafeteria. About 350 people came out to enjoy the pleasant and refreshing walk on Nam Mountain. The main purpose of this event was to promote unity and make strong bonds among Dongguk members by understanding the changes at the university. This annual event was co-hosted by the General Alumni Union and the alma mater. The entry fee was 20,000 won and was free for additional family members. All of the profits gathered at this event were given to the Human Resource Development for scholarship.
