Geoje Running Crew Finding Fitness and Friendship on a Korean Island
Geoje Running Crew started in November 2018 when founder Dongwook decided to train for a triathlon. What began as solo runs and occasional friend sessions became something deeper, a community of 45 runners bound by consistency and coastal miles. The crew believes fitness is the hook, but community is what keeps people coming back. Based in Geoje, South Korea, they gather Monday and Wednesday evenings at Gohyun Stadium, then venture out on weekends for runs along a small island's sweeping coastal road. It's tight-knit, welcoming, and grounded in the rhythm of showing up for yourself and the person beside you.
