(Busan = Yonhap News) Reporter Son Hyeong-ju = Due to poor management of the Busan Marathon held in Busan on the 21st, refund requests are pouring in from participants.

According to the Busan City Athletics Association on the 24th, about 5,000 running enthusiasts participated in the 21st Busan Marathon held in the Daejeo Ecological Park area in Gangseo-gu on the 21st.

Afterwards, more than 80 complaints were posted on the Busan Marathon website, pointing out that vehicle control, course guidance, and drinking water supply were inadequate.

Some participants said they could not drink water or were provided with hot water after completing the race due to a lack of drinking water.

In addition, contrary to the notice that food would be provided, some food was not provided, and course guidance and vehicle control were not properly provided, leading to a series of posts saying that it was dangerous.

Some participants are comparing it to other marathons and demanding refunds.

The competition was hosted by the Busan Athletics Association. The Busan City Athletics Association is an unauthorized private organization that is not an organization officially registered with the Busan City Sports Council.

The organization registered with the Busan City Sports Council is the Busan City Athletics Federation, and because the name is similar, related complaints were filed one after another in Busan City.

The Busan Marathon said on its website, “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to the participating athletes and officials due to problems with storage of supplies, water, course, and record certificates,” and “We are responsible for not providing bananas, chocolate, and water at the half return point.” “I will feel this and make improvements starting from the next competition,” he announced.
