The Kkotpin Track finisher badge

The 2026 Kkotpin Track (KKOT-FIN TRACK) was a running event the National Science Museum held in March and April. It had a lap-time ranking, where people ran the museum course with their own running apps, and a GPS art contest, where they drew pictures with the routes they ran.

Every participant got a digital badge proving they finished. The museum also ran an on-site booth that issued finisher certificates.
