Let the warm breeze and city lights lead the way during one of Busan’s most anticipated summer events. The 2025 Night Race in Busan returns on Aug. 2, lighting up the city with energy, excitement, and thousands of runners moving through the night.
Participants will gather at Gwangalli Beach starting at 4 p.m., with the race beginning at 9:30 p.m. The 8.15-kilometer course begins at Gwangalli Beach and finishes at BEXCO, crossing the stunning upper deck of the Gwangandaegyo Bridge.
This year’s race is limited to 20,000 participants, open to anyone aged 16 and older on a first-come, first-served basis. Runners will be organized into groups from S to F, each assigned to a designated waiting zone.
For an upgraded experience, choose the S Group during registration. S Group runners receive an exclusive kit featuring items like an LED bracelet, themed hairband, and more, plus priority access to the starting line. Registration fees are 50,000 won for Groups A to F and 80,000 won for the S Group.
Registration opens at 2 p.m. on June 26 via the YES24 website. Please note that strollers and pets are not permitted on the course. Unlike a traditional race, this is a non-timed event, allowing participants to fully soak in the festival atmosphere and the scenic beauty of Busan by night.
The fun doesn’t stop at the finish line. Live entertainment and surprise events will keep the celebration going well into the evening.
