📍Run the City - Literally 🏃🏙️
Seoul launches fitness spaces for runners at subway stations. 🚉
According to the Seoul city government, the initiative aims to transform unused spaces within subway stations into fitness-friendly areas, equipped with facilities such as changing rooms, personal lockers and powder rooms.
The city added that each of the three fitness-friendly facilities will be equipped with vending machines stocked with essential workout items, such as headbands, socks, knee support bands, wet wipes, pain relief patches and massage oil - based on feedback the city received from runners.
Access to the Runner’s Base is free via QR authentication on Naver or KakaoTalk. Lockers can be reserved and controlled remotely through the “T Locker” app, allowing users to secure or open their storage with their phones.
