Run with me

Every way to run Seoul with me.

All of them are a real run with a local who knows the city on foot. The only question is how much of the morning you want built around you alone, and whether you want to talk the whole way.

Private runs and Run & Talk are priced per hour at the 2026 founders rate. A private run takes up to five runners, and everyone after the first is 30% off. Run & Talk is always one to one. Small-group mornings are a flat ₩20,000 per person, whatever the distance. The booking form works out a live estimate as you set distance, pace and group size, and I confirm the final number by email. Full detail on the pricing page.

How it works

Four steps, one good morning.

  1. Book a morning

    Pick a date and tell me your pace and your distance. I answer the same day, usually within a few hours.

  2. Meet at the exit

    We start at a subway exit you can find half asleep. Grab a coffee first if you want one.

  3. Run your route

    We run at your pace while I handle the turns, the water fountains, and the photos. You just run.

  4. Finish somewhere good

    Ask and I will end the route near a cafe, a market, or breakfast. Coffee, soup, or a cold one after is your call.

    Ran Seoul City Wall Trail8 September 2026

    I ran with Quintin on 8/9/2026 and chose the City Walls trail, a difficult 20km run with 900m elevation. Five stars is not enough for such an experience!

    Quintin is a great guy - really fun to talk to and share stories with, which was important to me as I was solo travelling. He was extremely well prepared for the journey, managing the directions, water supply, snacks, gels and even bringing headlamps and extra batteries for all situations (including charging my phone that ran out! 😅). Suffice to say I felt safe and confident throughout the run.

    He managed the route specifically to get the best views for sunset, and helped get me get through an extremely challenging run in one piece, adding an extra hour or more to our planned trip without concern or complaint. He is very professional and flexible to the needs of the runner.

    Over and above - he and his wife have also kindly answered my travel questions and sent me loads of recommendations for food and experiences nearby.

    Definitely a highlight of my time in Seoul.

    Ran 3 October 2026

    My husband and I booked a 11km running route along the river and enjoyed the chat and hints linked to this awesome city including the stops along the buildings and markets. Also appreciated the last “stop” of the tour which was the after run coffee place before Quintin dropped us off at the subway!

    Ran The Puppy Run3 September 2026

    Such a wonderful experience with Run With Me Seoul – Puppy Route! 🐶🏃

    As a solo traveler, this was one of the highlights of my Seoul trip. Quintin was so kind, friendly, and well prepared. He even prepared water, an energy gel, and minerals for the run, which was such a thoughtful touch. He also ran at my own pace, so I could simply enjoy the run and the beautiful early-morning scenery.

    Everything was very well organized, with all the details provided in advance. I only needed to bring my running gear and show up!

    It was more than just a run — it was a special memory that made my vacation more meaningful. ❤️ I'll never forget it!

    Highly recommended, especially if you're traveling solo and love running! 🐶🏃

    Ran The Puppy Run2 September 2026

    Had a great time running with Quintin. Nice conversation, ran at the pace we wanted and even carried water for us!

    Ran The Puppy Run2 September 2026

    My brother and I trained to the city square to meet Quintin for our puppy run. He was very prompt on arrival at our meeting point, and he came prepared with bottles of water for us (which he carried on the run). He was friendly and considerate (pointing out obstacles along the way) and he explained some of the weird routes we took so we could draw the puppy. There were plenty of places along the way to stop and take pictures (which he was more than happy to do for us). Taking the guided run was a great way to see lots of the city which you might not otherwise visit in a short stay. I'd definitely recommend Quintin to others visiting Seoul who are keen for a run!

    It was an amazing experience! If you love running and are visiting or planning a trip to Seoul, I highly recommend exploring the city with Quintin. Running through Seoul with him made my trip even more special and gave me a whole new perspective on the city.

Run Seoul with me, on Korean TV

A Korean TV documentary is making an episode about what draws foreign visitors to Seoul these days, beyond K-pop. They're filming one of my guided runs, and I'm looking for one visitor to join me.
