Daejeon Youth Connect Through Running, Walking, and Hiking Activities in Gyejoksan Mountain
Daejeon City Collaborates with Youth Community "Runtown Daejeon"
On November 29, Daejeon City successfully concluded the "2025 Youth Activity Space Wellness Day" at Jangdong Forest Bath, where more than 100 local young people gathered to connect and interact in nature.
This event was organized in collaboration with the local wellness community "Runtown Daejeon" and featured a program that began with warm-up and stretching exercises using yoga movements. Afterwards, participants could choose from a variety of activities based on their fitness levels and preferences.
Three courses were offered simultaneously: running on Gyejoksan Mountain, walking at Jangdong Forest Bath, and hiking at Gyejoksanseong Fortress. Participants engaged with nature at their own pace and in their own style.
After the physical activities, a morning forest music and dance program was held, where participants enjoyed music and mingled in a natural setting. The session, featuring DJ music and performances, created an atmosphere for casual conversation and networking. Participants released their post-exercise energy through music, and a recovery beverage provided in partnership with a local company offered a moment of refreshment.
The wellness day was planned and operated on-site by "Runtown Daejeon," a local youth wellness community. Runtown Daejeon consists of about 20 young people from various fields such as sports, design, and media. They organize weekly activities that combine running with visits to local attractions, fostering healthy leisure and interaction among local youth.
