Seoul trades city paths for park trails this autumn

The Seoul Metropolitan Government is introducing park trails as an alternative to busy city paths for its popular morning exercise program, "Swieom Swieom Morning," this autumn. Residents will have the opportunity to participate in park-based events at World Cup Park on Sunday and Seoul Botanic Park on September 13. The first event, scheduled for Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., will follow a 4-kilometer route along Metasequoia Road, while the second event on September 13 will involve a 2-kilometer round-trip route through the botanical park's green spaces.

Participants can choose to extend their route depending on their fitness level and exercise goals, with the option to record their routes and distances via a GPS exercise verification event.
