S-Oil said a marathon it sponsored finished successfully on Oct 4, with 2,300 people with and without disabilities taking part. The event, called the “Gamdong Marathon,” was held at World Cup Park Peace Plaza in Seoul’s Mapo district, the company said on Oct 6. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
Participants ran in three categories — 5km, 10km and half-marathon — and a total of 36 people received awards. Winners were given trophies, prize money and gifts from Bravo Beaver, described in the reports as a standard workplace for people with disabilities. The awards were presented by marathon director Lee Bong-ju, Korea Association for Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities chairman Na Un-hwan and Seo Gyeong-seop, head of S-Oil’s general affairs division. [ 2 , 3 ]
According to S-Oil, the marathon was organised so that people with and without disabilities could enjoy sport together and to improve social awareness of people with disabilities. Former marathoner Lee Bong-ju ran as the event’s director and held an autograph session at the venue, and the reports note that families took part, including parents pushing strollers with children. [ 2 , 3 ]
An S-Oil official said the marathon was “a meaningful occasion for people with and without disabilities to run together, understand each other and communicate,” adding that the company would keep supporting the healthy social participation and independence of people with disabilities through various social contribution activities. [ 2 , 3 ]
The documents differ on who formally organised the event: Asia Economy says the Korea Association for Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities hosted it with S-Oil’s sponsorship, while Seoul Economic Daily describes S-Oil as having held it. Kukmin Ilbo reported the event only in a headline, also giving the figure of about 2,300 participants. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
Почему это важно
The marathon is a corporate social contribution programme that S-Oil announced through business outlets, with the stated aim of improving social awareness of people with disabilities and supporting their participation in society. All three documents are business outlets reporting the company’s own account, so the coverage reflects the organiser’s description of the event rather than independent observation.
