"If the participants register a photo of them wearing T-shirts delivered a week before the competition on the website of the Seo Yoon-bok Marathon, 100 people will be drawn and a separate souvenir will be given."
Chairman of the Commemorative Project Promotion Committee Oh Cheon-jin and Seo Yoon-bok, who also serves as the chairman of the competition's management committee, said "As it is the first competition, I would like to add significance to the hosting of the competition as a meaningful event."I hoped that the T-shirt-on relay would take place with my close friends and neighbors.
Meanwhile, the Mapo Seo Yoon-bok Marathon Organizing Committee also unveiled real T-shirts and commemorative medals to the public on the 21st, and Seo Sam-jong (dedicated to Seo Yoon-bok's signature) explained the purpose of the design, encouraging enthusiasm to participate in the competition.

"Memorial medals and T-shirts are lifelong properties for the marathoner. Especially the first competition. In the case of the Seo Yoon-bok Marathon, which made Korea known to the world for the first time, it will probably be a souvenir that you can't find anywhere else."
According to Seo, the commemorative medal is made in a unique structure that deviates from the usual circular frame and adds a rectangle to the circle.
Centering on the central top marathon signature, the winning title of the 1947 Boston Marathon was wrapped in English text, and the margin gave the spatial coolness of the wind with an air-borne structure.

In addition, the T-shirt designed two types of white shoulder shirts and navy short-sleeved shirts in one set, printed the emblem of the competition on the chest, and included an English-Korean combination graphic image in anticipation of its rise to the world competition.
The overall silhouette was arranged in the shape of a trophy to commemorate the victory of the world record, adding practicality to wear it as usual after the competition.
Writer Seo said, `I hope that everyone will wear the Seo Yoon-bok medal in the Korean era as they ran in the marathon wearing Seo Yoon-bok T-shirts", and encouraged and cheered despite the hard work.
