Two Runner Assistance Facilities Added to Promote Active Lifestyles

□ Busan Metropolitan City launched two runner assistance facilities at APEC Naru Park and Geumnyeonsan Station in October 2026, bringing the total number to five and making recreational sports more appealing for local residents.○ The runner assistance facilities have changing rooms and lockers and are available to those engaging in running, cycling, and other physical activities.○ Starting with the Dadaepo Runner Assistance Facility in March, the city expanded the initiative to Busan Citizens Park and North Port Waterfront Park in May. The two new facilities are anticipated to further increase opportunities for everyday exercise.□ The new, purpose-built facilities are designed to suit their respective surroundings.○ (Geumnyeonsan Station) Situated inside the station on Busan Metro Line 2, this urban facility makes the most of its excellent public transportation links and serves people heading to Gwangalli Beach and the trails of Geumnyeonsan Mountain.○ (APEC Naru Park) Overlooking the Suyeonggang River, this riverside facility will likely be popular with walkers and runners along nearby paths and pedestrian bridges.□ Busan will encourage greater use of the runner assistance facilities and foster a healthy running culture by incorporating them into local running programs.○ The APEC Naru Park Runner Assistance Facility will be integrated with the Run Busan Crew, which meets weekly in the vicinity. To celebrate the introduction of the Geumnyeonsan Station Runner Assistance Facility, a special running event is slated for October 23 at Samik Beach Waterfront Park.○ Committed to strengthening its reputation as an international sports destination, the city will sustain the growing enthusiasm for urban running by staging major running events. The Run Busan Festival takes place around North Port Waterfront Park on November 14, followed by the World Athletics-certified Busan Bridge Marathon on December 6, with a route spanning Gwangandaegyo Bridge, Busanhang
