Muju Trail 2026

Imagine a weekend where your sneakers carry you way up high, in the mountains of North Jeolla Province! 🏔️ Welcome to the Muju Trail, a still-secret corner of South Korea, amid forests, fresh air and trails that put a smile on your face.

Here, everyone finds their own distance. Are you a beginner or do you simply want a taste of the mountains? The 10k Open Race is made for you. Want fresh air and great sensations? The 21k Open Race promises you a real sporty stroll among the trees 🌲. And the 28k World Series, the Final of the Golden Trail World Series reserved for the best trail runners on the planet.

Once you've crossed the finish line, Muju still has plenty more to surprise you, and I'll be your guide. Head to Deogyusan National Park and its Gucheondong valley, with its waterfalls and quiet paths, ideal for easing your legs down gently. Then hop aboard the Muju Deogyusan Resort gondola to admire the ridges from above, without taking another step: your calves will thank you! 🚡 If you like offbeat places, head to Taekwondowon, a huge park dedicated to taekwondo, with demonstrations and striking architecture. For a bit of history, also take a stroll around the Jeoksangsanseong Fortress, perched on the heights, perfect for a lovely panorama as a couple or with family.

Round off your day with a hearty bowl of local bibimbap, your favorite post-race refuel 🍜.
