🌅 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:

  • Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced
    So you can run comfortably with people at your level.

## 📍 Meeting Point

Haeundae Event Square (next to Grand Josun Hotel)

## 🗺️ Route (Choose on the Day)

We’ll choose the route based on the group and conditions:

  • Haeundae Beach + Dongbaekseom (Dongbaek Island) loop, or
  • Haeundae Beach + Movie Street (영화의 거리) route

## ☕ 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.

## 🌦️ Weather / Air Quality Policy

HRTC runs every Sunday year-round starting Jan 11, 2026.
However, the meetup will be automatically canceled if:

  • It’s raining, or
  • Fine dust / air quality is at a hazardous level

## Participation & Coffee ☕
• No Entry Fee: Joining our run is now completely free—no more prepayments or deposits.
• Your Coffee, Your Choice: We’ll still gather at a local cafe after the run, where everyone can simply order and pay for their own drinks.
The "Keep Your Promise" Policy ✨
We’ve removed the 5,000 KRW fee to make our community more accessible, but we still rely on your commitment. HiBA events involve a lot of heart and preparation.
• Sign Up = Show Up: If you RSVP, please ensure you attend. No-shows make it difficult for us to manage the group and take away spots from other eager runners.
• Can't Make It?: We understand life happens! If you can’t join, please cancel as early as possible so someone else can fill your spot.

## 📸 Photo / Video Consent

By joining, you agree that photos/videos taken during the meetup may be used for HiBA (Hidden Busan) promotional purposes.

## 🎒 What to Bring

Running shoes, water, and a light jacket (sea mornings can be chilly)

If you’ve been meaning to build a healthier routine—or meet people in Busan in a natural way—this is an easy place to start.
See you Sunday at 7AM. 🌊🌅🏃‍♂️☕️
