This highly anticipated event attracts thousands of runners worldwide, with an impressive 80% of participants in their 20s and 30s.

Chadol Running Club began in October 2019 when four neighbours in Mapo-gu, Seoul decided to run together each morning. That simple habit became something bigger. Today, around 20 runners of all abilities gather to chase the same philosophy: speed is never the point. Instead, the crew builds on mutual support, showing up together, and making every run worth remembering. The atmosphere is warm and low-pressure, genuinely welcoming anyone willing to lace up. Every Sunday at 9:30 am, they set off from Mangwon-dong through one of Seoul's most characterful neighbourhoods, running between 5 to 10 kilometres as a unified group.
WAUSAN30 was born in November 2014 when four friends discovered one street, one idea, and a community waiting to run. Named after the Wausan road in Seoul's creative heart, the crew started small and grew quietly into something essential. What began as a neighbourhood run has become a Tuesday night ritual that draws artists, designers, photographers, editors, and tattoo artists from across Seoul's west side. Every week in Hongdae, WAUSAN30 gathers the city's most creative minds who believe running is a ritual, not a race. Founded on creativity, community, and Tuesday nights, this crew of nearly 200 runners proves that the best miles happen together.
