A 5K or 10K outing with Korean variety-show energy and a concert afterward. October 17 at West Harbor; this guide does not use the superseded Korean Bell route.
SEOULIAN PERSPECTIVE
You do not need to know every episode
Think of this as a chance to do something together, not a test of how much Korean television you remember. An outing built around Infinite Challenge can give longtime viewers a familiar starting point while leaving newcomers a simpler invitation: choose a distance, bring a companion and make room for music afterward. Our suggestion is to agree on the kind of day you want before choosing an entry. A friend interested in the concert and a friend interested in running need not have identical reasons to enjoy the same event.
PLANNING NOTES
The plan: October 17, West Harbor
The current official MStoreBuy page places the festival at West Harbor in San Pedro on Saturday, October 17, 2026. Korea Daily's September 9 report, updated September 10, independently names the same date and venue. This guide follows that current listing, not the superseded Korean Bell course. The advertised distances are 5K and 10K: this is not a full marathon. We are not publishing a turn-by-turn route or start-line pin. Older organizer materials still contain different operational details, so confirm the latest participant instructions rather than navigating from a saved early announcement.
PLANNING NOTES
Choose the distance, then check the total
MStoreBuy displays $95 for the 5K-plus-concert option and $110 for the 10K-plus-concert option. Those are that seller's listed prices at our check, not a claim about every registration channel or available inventory. The admission panel separates the child exception and checkout uncertainty. Our practical suggestion is to compare the basic entry with your actual plans before adding merchandise. A souvenir should be a choice, not something you mistake for a requirement to attend.
SEOULIAN PERSPECTIVE
Make the gathering work for your group
Korea Daily reports planned appearances by Park Myung-soo, Jung Jun-ha and Haha, plus a concert lineup including BIBI, JUNNY, Tiger JK, Yoon Mi-rae and Skull. Treat that as an announced lineup, not a guarantee that any particular performer will be available for a personal meeting. For your own group, choose a way to reconnect after the running portion. Someone may finish earlier, take a break or want a quieter pace. A flexible meeting plan is more useful than assuming everyone will stay side by side throughout the day.
PLANNING NOTES
What to verify before leaving
Exact start and check-in times are deliberately unconfirmed here because the available schedules differ. This page therefore offers no calendar export with an invented time. Reopen the official ticket page and your participant messages before travelling; verify arrival instructions, the start-line location and parking. MStoreBuy says an additional participant-registration email follows purchase, so check that step rather than assuming an order receipt completes everything. Read its refund and transfer conditions before paying. SEOULIAN has not tested checkout or promised that spaces remain.

About this guide
Checked September 16, 2026. This is an original English planning guide based on the official seller and Korea Daily's separately published reporting, not a translated announcement, sponsored endorsement or eyewitness account. The suggested approach to a shared outing is SEOULIAN interpretation. No promotional photographs, television footage, lyrics or artist likenesses are reproduced. The cover is an imagined preparation scene, not a photograph of the event or its course.
