The winter running track, opened in December last year, is designed to allow warm running by covering six lanes of 400 meters in length with a vinyl tunnel that blocks the cold wind. In addition, waiting rooms, storage rooms, and warm-up spaces were provided for the convenience of users.

From December 10, 2024, to March 9, 2025, about 27,680 citizens visited over 82 days. In particular, visits continued not only from Paju residents but also from residents of other regions, and the fact that people could exercise even in the severe winter received great praise from visitors.

Paju City created the first winter running track in northern Gyeonggi Province, providing an optimal exercise environment for citizens during winter, and it attracted attention as a benchmarking target for other local governments.

Mayor Kim Kyung-il of Paju said, “As a result of operating a customized running track so that citizens can maintain a healthy lifestyle even in winter, many citizens showed positive responses,” and added, “We plan to operate it again at the end of this year and will do our best to increase citizen satisfaction with improved facilities and operation methods.”
