2026 Night Race in Busan

The 2026 Night Race in Busan is Busan’s signature night running festival set against the stunning backdrops of Gwangalli Beach and Gwangan Bridge. It is a unique seasonal event where participants can enjoy running, music, and a vibrant festival atmosphere all at once amidst the cool summer ocean breeze and dazzling city nightscapes. Featuring a special course running directly across Gwangan Bridge, the event offers photo zones and a variety of on-site activities, allowing runners to go beyond a simple run and fully immerse themselves in Busan’s summer night. In particular, night running along the upper deck of Gwangan Bridge—an area usually closed to pedestrians—serves as the iconic highlight of the event. Rather than focusing on competitive timing, the Night Race is a participatory event centered around music, energetic vibes, and shared excitement. It has become a beloved annual summer festival in Busan, offering a memorable experience for friends, couples, and families against the backdrop of the night sea and illuminated bridge skyline.
