Competition
Samguk Yusa National Marathon Competition
The Samgukyusa National Marathon Competition has three categories: 5km, 10km, and a half marathon. The course starts from a square at the Gunwi Dam, then goes on to Hakseonggyo Bridge (point of return for the 5km race), Gorogyo Bridge (point of return for the 10km race), Gaam Samgeori (point of return for the half marathon), and back. With its shallow inclines, the Samguk Yusa National Marathon Competition is the best marathon in Korea where you can immerse yourself in the local environment, highlighted by the beautiful scenery surrounding the Gunwi Dam. And, of course, you can enjoy plenty of local dishes after the race.
Contests
Samguk Yusa Golden Bell Quiz Contest
The Samguk Yusa Golden Bell Quiz Contest invites high school students from across the country every year to promote the significance and various values of Samguk Yusa, and give them a chance to gauge their historical knowledge of Samguk Yusa. 50 students who pass the preliminary round earn a spot in the final round. The questions start off easy but progressively become more difficult to make sure only the truly knowledgeable survive. Winners, including those who get to ring the Golden Bell, are awarded a certificate and scholarship. Each award is named after King Muyeol, King Beopheung, and other figures that appear in Samguk Yusa, adding wit and fun to the whole Contest. The Samguk Yusa Golden Bell Quiz Contest is gaining quite the following from students, teachers, and parents nationwide, and it is considered one of the best examples of “edutainment” content not only in Korea, but also internationally.
