Details
🌅 HRTC (Haeundae Run & Travel Club)
Sunday 7AM Social Run + Coffee Chat (Busan)
Starts: Sunday, Jan 11, 2026 | Every Sunday (Year-round)
Some mornings in Busan feel like a quiet secret—until you see it.
At HRTC, you run along Haeundae Beach, one of the world’s most famous coastlines, sometimes looping toward Dongbaekseom (Dongbaek Island)… and then the sky begins to change.
The sunrise doesn’t just appear—it unfolds.
Light spreads across the ocean, the waves turn silver, and for a few minutes you’re not just “going for a run.” You’re moving through a scene that makes you grateful you woke up.
That sunrise moment—while running—is one of the best parts of HRTC.
## ✅ Who This Is For
## HRTC is open to:
- Short-term travelers staying around Haeundae
- Expats living in Busan (and nearby)
- Busan residents who want to meet new people through a healthy routine
## 🎯 Why We Run (Our Purpose)
This is more than running. Our goal is to:
- Build a healthy weekly habit together (internationals + locals)
- Create a space where people can connect naturally through shared interests
- Grow real local moments into tourism content—because the best experiences start with community
## 🏃 Run Details
- Time: Every Sunday, 7:00 AM
- Distance: 5K
- Pace: Typically ~7:00–7:30 min/km (beginner-friendly)
* Pace Groups (optional)
Depending on the group, we may split into:

## ☕ After the Run
We’ll do a coffee & chat at a nearby café (decided on the day).
This is where the “Travel Club” part really happens—conversation, tips, connections, and new friends.
