Bread, pizza, fish: Seoul unveils GPS art running trails
Seoul has created three running routes that trace the shapes of a loaf of bread, a slice of pizza and a fish on a map, and will hold an event for runners who complete them starting Wednesday, the city government said Tuesday.

Seoul has introduced three new running trails that mimic the shapes of bread, pizza, and fish, according to the city government. These routes, launched on Wednesday, form part of the city's "art running" initiative, which encourages runners to use GPS functions on their running apps to map their paths. The idea behind these trails is to blend Seoul's expanding running culture with local tourism, offering a fresh perspective on exploring sites chosen for Seoul Edition 25.
The project also aims to highlight lesser-known spots as tourist attractions beyond the usual landmarks.
The city chose 25 sites through a resident vote, one in each of Seoul's 25 districts. These sites include various local spots, such as Seoul Forest, Maeheon Citizen's Forest, and the D Museum. The 1.4-kilometer "bread run" circles Seoul Forest, a large park in eastern Seoul, and connects with D Museum and nearby bakeries afterward. The 6-kilometer "pizza run" encircles Maeheon Citizen's Forest, while the 5-kilometer "fish run" is still under development. This unique running event will continue through October 31.
