2026 Namsan Night Trekking 'Sparkling Namsan Night Path'

This is a non-competitive night trekking event in which participants stroll through the forest and night views of Namsan, one of Seoul's premier nighttime attractions. Starting from Namsangol Hanok Village, participants travel about 3km via the Namsan Pedestrian Bridge and Namsan Park Road to reach Namsan Tower. The small lights carried by participants—glow-in-the-dark wristbands and glow-in-the-dark phone grips (griptok)—form a continuous trail of light along the Namsan night path, creating a scene reminiscent of fireflies in motion. For each session, about 700 participants are divided into 7 groups of 100 people each, departing in sequence after warm-up exercises and a safety briefing. After arriving at Palgakjeong Pavilion, each group takes a commemorative photo before being dismissed.
