The Daegwallyeong Series story
The paths national athletes ran, the potato fields, the Olympic snow. How the stories of Daegwallyeong became races, one by one.
01
A national team training ground
Daegwallyeong has trained national athletes in sport after sport. Park Byeong-ju grew up on its paths, became a national athlete and coach, and wanted everyone to run these courses. The goal: a Daegwallyeong alive in every season, not just winter.
