THE DREAM

About 7km Pet Run — what makes it special

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

A night-running festival held at Gyeongju Bomun Lake on October 4, 2026, featuring a 7 km pet run that you can enter with your dog.

Participants receive a performance T-shirt, LED accessories, a dog leash, and an LED blinker.

The road to your own record

Picture the course in advance
and find the pace that fits you.

When the city cheers

Streets lined with cheers, runners all around.
You'll be part of that scene.

The trip that follows the run

Take it slow with the finish still in you,
and meet the city all over again.

Where and when to collect your 7km Pet Run race bib

To the start line,
step by step.

Pick up your bib, check your wave.
So on race morning, you can just run.

From the 2026 edition
READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

In October, the morning temperature drops quite a bit.

Bring an outer layer for departure, and if you are wearing short sleeves, keep your initial body temperature at arm sleeves.

The distance is short, so the burden is not great, but if you watch out for the initial over pace, it's enough to complete the course.

The entire city of Gyeongju is a ruin.

It’s great to tour around Bulguksa Temple, Cheomseongdae, and Daereungwon.

Times are local to Gyeongju. Check the latest official information before the race.
