Oncorun is a name that combines Oncology and Run,
symbolizing the healing journey of cancer survivors and those who stand with them.
It is open not only to survivors but to anyone who wishes to support and cheer them on.

Oncorun is more than just a running event.
It is a comprehensive health-promotion program that raises awareness of cancer prevention
and supports the social return of cancer survivors.

Course options:
• 5 km Run
• 3 km Walk

In Oncorun 2025, around 1,000 participants and staff joined the event.

Medical evidence:
• Cancer prevention: Regular exercise has been reported to reduce cancer incidence by up to 30%.
• Recurrence prevention: Exercise has been shown to lower cancer recurrence rates by up to 50%.
• Survival benefit: Continued exercise after treatment can significantly improve 5-year survival rates.

Current challenges:
• Korea’s overall exercise participation rate is among the lowest of roughly 170 countries.
• Fewer than 20% of cancer survivors engage in sufficient physical activity.
• Economic burden and lack of information limit access to appropriate exercise.

Our philosophy:
• “Freedom of Exercise”
No one should be prevented from doing the right exercise for themselves
because of financial constraints or lack of knowledge.

We plan to continue Oncorun next year as well,
and we look forward to your interest and participation.
