Yangsan Baenaegol Apple Run 2026

The 2026 Yangsan Baenaegol Apple Run invites runners to immerse themselves in the picturesque beauty of Baenaegol, known for its abundant sweet apples. This unique race takes place on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 9:00 AM, coinciding with the vibrant Baenaegol Apple Festival. Registration opens on June 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM and is available to all healthy individuals regardless of age.
Participants have two course options: a scenic 10 km route or a more relaxed 5 km loop. The longer distance begins in front of Jangseon Village Hall and winds through the heart of Baenaegol’s apple orchards, passing by landmarks such as the Baenaegol Promotion Center and Yongho Village bus stop before looping back to finish at Jangseon Village Hall. For those seeking a shorter experience, the 5 km course offers a taste of the village's charm with a turn around Seoksujeong Garden.
Both courses celebrate local culture by emphasizing sustainability and eco-friendly practices, aligning closely with Baenaegol’s commitment to preserving its natural beauty for future generations. Entry fees are set at KRW 50,000 for the 10 km race and KRW 40,000 for the 5 km course.
Runners can look forward to a day filled with scenic views, fresh air, and the warm atmosphere of Baenaegol’s apple festival. The event promises an unforgettable blend of physical challenge and community spirit in one of South Korea's most charming rural settings.
Participants are encouraged to embrace the local tradition while enjoying the race, making it not just a run but also a celebration of nature and community.
