People who run while travelling see a city twice: once as a visitor, once at the speed of someone who lives there. Seoul is unusually good at the second one. Here’s the thing: there is a river, and the paths along both banks run for tens of kilometres without a break. Late September to mid-October brings 15–20°C mornings, the best of the year. Bag in a subway locker, bath at a jjimjilbang afterwards—four routes and the practical bits, sorted.

Part of the same view is free from the riverside parks, bridge walkways give an angle boats cannot, and public water transport sometimes runs cheaper. Six things to check before you board, plus the alternatives.
