Bundang Running Crew: Where Every Monday Feels Like a Festa and Everyone Is a Winner

Bundang Running Crew (BRC) launched in January 2019 right here in Bundang, just south of Seoul. Jaehwi had a simple idea: to bring people together to enjoy running and support one another. He wanted running to be fun and help everyone feel a bit healthier. Since then, BRC has become a key part of our local running scene.

At Bundang Running Crew, we believe in openness and positivity. Our motto, "Run until we all win," captures it perfectly. Jaehwi wanted a space where anyone could join in and feel like a winner just by showing up. For us, every street in the city is a track, and our primary goal is to foster a running culture built on respect and encouragement.

Respect and support are at the core of everything we do at BRC. We’re known for being welcoming and encouraging, which has helped us build a loyal group of runners here in Bundang. We focus on helping each other and celebrating every success, which keeps us all motivated.

Every Monday at 8 p.m., we host #MONDAYFESTA. It’s our weekly run and a great way to start the week with good energy and connect with others. Everyone is welcome, and we prioritize fun and support. This regular event is what strengthens our community.

Our guiding principle is simple: Come, Run, Enjoy together. We welcome anyone who wants to be part of a community where everyone can be a winner. If you'd like to join #MONDAYFESTA and experience our energy, please reach out to us on our official social media channels.

BRC is a significant part of the running scene here in Bundang, but we’re also connected to the larger running community across the Seoul Capital Area. The region is a global hub for run crews, from the creative Mutant_ to the city-wide Crewghost and the neighborhood-focused Nowon Running Crew (N1RC) in Seoul’s northeast. With numerous options, every runner can find their ideal community.

Staying true to our motto, "Every road we run is our track," we love exploring everything our home city has to offer. Our #MONDAYFESTA runs often take place in and around Bundang Central Park, one of South Korea’s largest urban parks, which provides a beautiful and safe environment for evening runs. Another favorite spot is the network of paths along the Tancheon stream, a tributary of the Han River, with miles of scenic, uninterrupted running.

As part of the greater Seoul area, we’re a regular and energetic presence at the region’s major running events. The highlight of the year is the Seoul Marathon every March, which attracts elite runners from around the world to its fast course. Another big event is the JTBC Seoul Marathon in the fall, with several distances and a route passing some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks.
