Bread, pizza, fish: Seoul unveils GPS art running trails

Seoul has introduced three new running routes that form the shapes of bread, pizza, and fish on maps, with an event starting on Wednesday for participants. Known as "art running," these courses utilize the GPS function of running apps to record paths that form pictures. The city aims to blend the city's expanding running culture with local tourism, offering an innovative way to visit lesser-known sites beyond famous landmarks.

The project selects 25 sites across Seoul, one in each district, through resident voting. The 1.4-kilometer "bread run" circles Seoul Forest, a vast park in eastern Seoul, leading to the D Museum, a Seoul Edition 25 site. Runners can explore nearby bakeries and museum exhibitions afterward. The event continues until October 31. Additionally, the 6-kilometer "pizza run" encircles Maeheon Citizen’s Forest, a Seoul Edition 25 site.
