SEOUL MARATHON
My Best Ever Marathon
Self‐ generated project • Nov ~ Dec 2017
[To Begin with]
Through the participation of three marathons, I was indeed pleased with the fact I finished 10 km.
However, I felt something was missing as it was only my satisfaction alone.
I started thinking what if a marathon would be more meaningful and joyful.
The goal of the project is to design a marathon which could be more memorable and broaden people's horizon.
[Explore & Empathize]
People love a marathon regardless of age.
Families with strollers, senior citizens, handicapped people had a good time with a marathon in their ways and pace.
An unnecessary souvenir.
Medals became odds and ends after having a picture of it. Can we have a more valuable souvenir rather than a medal?
A garbage island after a marathon.
Trash all along the route.
Who would clean this mess?
[Envisage]
I would like to design a marathon that can satisfy five senses, and which all participants deserve to enjoy.
Moreover, the whole items and procedure of the marathon should be eco-friendly.
Marathon Satisfies Five Senses.
•The Wish Tree: People wish on a tree in the marathon route through an AR camera.
•The Tunnel Club: People can request their favorite songs and dance and play punch ball.
•Various Beverage in Ooho: You cannot see disposable water bottles. We put a variety of drinks in Ooho (an eco-friendly water container). [About Ooho▶︎]
Everyone Deserves to Enjoy.
•Design my own course! - People can choose the distance of marathon based on their health and pace: 5 km, 10 km, 15 km, 20 km or from 6 km to 19 km by 1 km.
•The opening ceremony involves a Korean traditional performance called “Samulnori” by artists with disabilities.
•People who do their utmost deserve to receive a prize.
We are Eco-runners.
•Stay luggage at home. All you need are comfortable shoes and clothes.
•Let’s clean it! The garbage you picked up is measured and rewarded.
•Suggest ideas that boost the morale of people to join eco-friendly events.
•Every item is recyclable, no rubbish.
The app plays an important role in the marathon. Runners can browse missions, participated in them and check their record.
If anyone has a good idea, please leave comments to develop this project and bring a better service :)
