The ‘7979 Seoul Running Crew,’ which runs through Seoul’s night attractions, will start its enhanced course on April 11 at 7 PM.
Seoul City has expanded the ‘7979 Seoul Running Crew’ to 12 courses, running until October. Courses range from 2.5km to 10km, allowing participants to choose based on their fitness level.
The Seoul Running Crew meets every Thursday from 7 PM to 9 PM. Since its trial run in 2022, it has seen 3,114 participants up to 2023. This year, 12 courses have been added in three areas: Gwanghwamun Square, Yeouido Park, and Banpo Hangang Park.
The Seoul Running Crew is designed to accommodate everyone, from beginners to experienced runners, with courses ranging from the shortest 2.5km ‘Yeouido Park Loop’ to the longest 10km ‘Hangang Bridge Course.’ Special event courses like the ‘Family & Stroller Run’ in May and the ‘Plogging Run’ in June are also planned.
Professional coaches will guide participants on running techniques, and pacers will help control the pace for a safe finish. After each run, participants will shout the official slogan ‘7979,’ earning 7,979 KRW per person, up to a maximum of 50 million KRW, which will be donated to support sports for the disadvantaged through the Seoul Sports Council.
Registration is available on the ‘Dongma Club’ website, with on-site registration also possible. Course and running information will be posted on the official Instagram every Monday.
