Youth in Motion: We Are Run Volunteers Lead ‘2025 Earth Run: The Peace Road’ for the Third Year

On May 31 2025, a vibrant wave of youth energy filled Yeouido Park in Seoul as over 1,000 volunteers and runners from the youth running crew ‘We Are Run’ (위아런) participated in the “2025 Earth Run: The Peace Road” marathon event. This marks the third consecutive year the crew has taken part as official volunteers, exemplifying their continued commitment to social impact through movement.

The youth volunteers played vital roles in event logistics: offering guidance, supporting operations, assisting with sponsorships, maintaining cleanliness, and warmly interacting with attendees. Meanwhile, young runners participated in the race itself, physically embodying the message of peace and contributing to a growing culture of giving.

Their orderliness, cheerful presence, and collaborative spirit won praise from both participants and organizers alike, significantly boosting the overall success and satisfaction of the event.

‘Earth Run,’ now in its third year, has become one of Korea’s leading charity-based marathon events, with registration filling up in record time. We Are Run’s reliable volunteer force has been instrumental in reinforcing public trust in the event’s brand and mission.

Centered on the keywords “running” and “peace,” We Are Run continues to lead diverse social contribution efforts. They are not just a running crew—they’re a youth movement committed to spreading positive influence, cultivating a culture of health, and encouraging charitable giving.

We Are Run’s director, Lee Hyun-seung, shared: “The positive influence of youth goes far beyond simple volunteering—it’s a force for real societal change. We’ll continue to spread positive messages and engage in meaningful community service through our healthy, united efforts.”

Voices from the event reflected the impact of their presence: “The warm energy from these young people lifted the entire atmosphere,” said one participant, while another added, “Thanks to the volunteers’ kind assistance, I’ll definitely come again next year.”

Through active youth-led involvement in events like Earth Run, We Are Run is helping foster a more connected, hopeful society. Their journey is only just beginning—and it’s gaining momentum with every step.
