Great Runs in Busan, South Korea

Note: For the Full Guide to Running in Busan, see the GR Website

Located on the southern tip of the Korean peninsula, Busan is South Korea’s second largest city. As one of the world’s largest ports, Busan is also known for its beaches, mountains, and temples. Busan has a unique geography, with the developed sections situated in narrow valleys between the Nakdong and the Suyeong Rivers, and mountains all around. Due to the city’s traffic, unique geography, and the fact that many streets don’t have sidewalks, the situation for running in Busan requires one to head to particular particular locations — generally along the water.
