Organized by the Korean Diabetes Society (KDS) and SPOTV News, the Blue Run with Jung Kwang Jang is the first World Diabetes Day commemoration sports event in Korea. The event is to be held at the Peace Park near Sang-am World Cup Stadium, where the opening ceremony of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup was held.

The Blue Run will be a short distance marathon competition with two different courses - 5 km and 10 km - and an expected 5,000 participants, including people with diabetes.

Blue Run is sponsored by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Korean Diabetes Association, and the Korean Association of Type 1 Diabetes, with Jung Kwan Jang, Korea’s leading health supplement brand, as the main sponsor.

Various booths will be set up at the event site to provide health information to participants and citizens, including diabetes prevention programmes. Events will be held, such as celebrity performances and lucky draws. Participants will receive blood glucose meters and health supplements, and the proceeds will be donated to the Korean Diabetes Association.
