Busan Metropolitan City to Launch “2026 Moonlight Workout Busan Challenge,” an Outdoor Nighttime Sports-for-All Program for Autumn Evenings, Starting in September

내용

Busan Metropolitan City, led by Mayor Chun Jae-soo, announced that it will hold the “2026 Moonlight Workout Busan Challenge” once a week for a total of seven sessions from September 19 to November 7, offering residents an easy and enjoyable way to take part in sports-for-all activities outdoors on autumn evenings.

The “Moonlight Workout Busan Challenge” is a Busan-specific sports-for-all program designed to encourage participation among residents who are unfamiliar with exercise or have had little interest in physical activity, thereby promoting health and fostering a vibrant nighttime leisure culture.

The program combines exercise, performances, and hands-on activities in outdoor settings representative of Busan, including its waterfront and riverside areas. A total of seven weekend sessions will be held at Busan Citizens Park from September to October, with three sessions; North Port Waterfront Park in October, with two sessions; and Hwamyeong Ecological Park from October to November, with two sessions.

Busan Metropolitan City plans to further develop the program into eco-sports tourism content that connects the city’s beautiful natural and tourism resources with sports-for-all activities.

This year’s program will feature a variety of sports-for-all activities, including gymnastics, yoga, Zumba, circuit training, and exercise programs for children. In particular, well-known fitness influencers including Shin Soo-ji, Hong Beom-seok, Yoga Boy, and Shim Euddeum will personally lead the programs. As the detailed program varies by venue and date, participants are advised to check the schedule in advance.

Each session will also feature engaging participatory events led by fitness influencers, including a step-box challenge, a fitness championship, a Tabata challenge, a random-play dance challenge, and a Moonlight Citizens’ Fitness Zone, providing residents with new opportunities for fun and personal challenge.

In addition, the program will offer a variety of attractions and entertainment, including sports performances featuring jump rope, boxing, and taekwondo, as well as magic shows, busking, and comedy. Experience booths related to sports-for-all and health, along with activities for families, will also be operated, offering residents a uniquely Busan autumn evening where exercise and leisure can be enjoyed together.

Registration will begin on September 4 with advance applications for the main program of the first session. Up to 300 participants per session may register in advance on a first-come, first-served basis through the “2026 Moonlight Workout Busan Challenge” website at http://dalbambusan.com and social media channels. Any remaining places will be available through on-site registration on the day of the event.

Experience booths, performances, and citizen participation events will be open to walk-in participants at the venues.

I hope residents will spend a healthy and energetic time enjoying sports-for-all with their families, friends, and neighbors at some of Busan’s most attractive locations on autumn evenings.”
