What is the Athlete Assistance Program (AAP)?

For many international athletes in South Korea, it is a constant challenge staying abreast of local races and events, registering to participate, and accessing logistical support during the events. Most information is only available in Korean and is posted on obscure Korean forums or blogs.

The one-stop solution for these problems is membership in iGK’s Athlete Assistant Program. We offer to levels of assistance: AAP Member and AAP Prime Member. AAP Members can access our database of sporting events, registration assistance, translations of rules, and other event specifics. iGK AAP Prime Members also have access to the iGK tent at Prime Events*, usually the biggest and best events of the season where you can hang out, talk to like-minded athletes, and use our repair stand and tools. Finally, all AAP members enjoy discounted entry fees to iGK's Day of Discovery events held throughout the year.
