The 7th Treasure Island Namhae Bicycle Festival will take place on September 28 at the Jukbangryeom Promotion Center in Samdong-myeon.

The event features a scenic coastal route, offering a 70-kilometer round trip from the Jukbangryeom Promotion Center to Namhae Chungnyeolsa Shrine in Seolcheon-myeon.

Designed as a non-competitive tour rather than a ranking race, participants can choose between a 30-kilometer course (Jukbangryeom Promotion Center to Seonsomaeul), suitable for families and casual riders, and the full 70-kilometer course for cycling enthusiasts.

The festival is open to anyone who enjoys cycling, from hobbyists to the general public. Minors may participate with parental consent.

Registration fees are 30,000 won for adults and 25,000 won for youth, with participants receiving Namhae Love Gift Certificates worth 25,000 won (adults) and 20,000 won (youth) as souvenirs on the day of the event.
