2025 Seven Bridges Tour: Ride across Busan on September 21
□ The Seven Bridges Tour is Korea’s only large-scale, friendly cycling event that connects ▲ four sea bridges, ▲ two underpasses, and ▲ one tunnel into a stunning loop around Busan. Far from the competitiveness of standard races, it invites bike enthusiasts to soak in the breathtaking convergence of sea, mountains, rivers, and the cityscape all from the seat of a bicycle.
○ The 77-kilometer circuit begins at BEXCO, passes through ▲ Gwangandaegyo Bridge, ▲ Sinseondae Underpass, ▲ Busanhangdaegyo Bridge, ▲ Namhangdaegyo Bridge, ▲ Cheonma Tunnel, ▲ Jangpyeong Underpass, ▲ Eulsukdodaegyo Bridge, then turns around at ▲ Maekdo Ecological Park before heading back to Gwangandaegyo Bridge.
○ On the day of the event morning vehicle access will be temporarily restricted. Cyclists will have a rare opportunity to ride across marine bridges that are normally closed to non-motorized traffic—a truly exclusive occasion in Busan.
□ A wide array of engaging features will also appeal to both locals and travelers.
○ In the morning, the upper deck of Gwangandaegyo Bridge will be open to the public free of charge for ▲ a parade, ▲ a BMX stunt show, and ▲ a gourmet fair in connection with Festival Shiwol. Food trucks run by Michelin-starred chefs will be on-site, and a special cultural welcome package will be provided to the first 1,500 pre-registered international guests.
○ In the vicinity of BEXCO, additional family-focused offerings will take place: ▲ a bicycle maintenance workshop, ▲ a traffic awareness campaign, and ▲ a bike safety class for children.
□ Early bird booking will start on July 16, 2025, with general sign-ups opening on July 22. Further information will be released soon.
○ Proceeds will go entirely toward safety measures, convenience amenities, staffing, and other operational requirements.
