Namsan 6km Night Walk Guide: 2026 N Seoul Tower Night Walk Route, Dates, and Program

The Namsan 6km night walk is the main route of the 2026 N Seoul Tower Night Walk, a non-competitive evening walking event linking Baekbeom Square, Namsan Dulle-gil, and N Seoul Tower. The first session was held on June 13, 2026, and the full schedule was announced for three dates: June 13, July 4, and July 11, 2026.¹

For anyone checking the event after the opening session, the key point is timing. As of June 22, 2026, the June 13 session had already taken place, while the July 4 and July 11 sessions remained in the announced schedule. CJ Foodville said the first and second sessions closed early, and cumulative ticket sales had passed 3,600 participants.²

Namsan 6km Night Walk Route

The walking course is about 6km and starts from Baekbeom Square before continuing along Namsan Dulle-gil toward N Seoul Tower.¹ It is designed as a night walking program rather than a race, with reports describing the route as taking around 1 hour and 30 minutes on foot.³

That route length makes the event approachable for readers looking for an organized evening walk rather than a competitive fitness challenge. The course is also tied to a wider program: participants do not simply arrive, walk, and leave. The event combines pre-walk gathering, the Namsan walking route, checkpoint or mission elements, and post-walk activities around the tower area.

The official event time was announced as 4:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. for each scheduled date.¹ This longer window is important because the 6km walk itself is only one part of the evening. On the first session, participants gathered at Baekbeom Square, joined pre-start activities, and departed for the Namsan Dulle-gil course at around 7:00 p.m.⁴

What Happens Before and After the Walk

The 2026 event concept is “Walk the Nature, Taste the City, Meet the World,” framing the night walk as a mix of nature, city views, food, and global exchange.¹ In practical terms, readers should understand the N Seoul Tower Night Walk as a structured evening festival built around the 6km route, not only as a simple walking meetup.

At the June 13 first session, field coverage described sponsor booths, an indie band performance, and group stretching with exercise influencer Heungdungi before the walk began.⁴ The same report identified “Walk & Mission Mate” missions during the course, followed by an after-party at N Seoul Tower Plaza and the Namsan Night Market after completion.⁴

CJ Newsroom also introduced “Walk & Mission Mate” as a new group activity and said it had closed early, while the Namsan Night Market was described as combining K-pop and K-food after the walk.⁵ These details are useful for planning expectations: the event appears best suited to participants who want an organized social program alongside the actual walking route.

The first session gives a sense of demand and scale. CJ Foodville said more than 1,000 people joined the June 13 opening session, and foreign participation increased about fourfold compared with the previous event in 2023.² News coverage also characterized the program as combining wellness, global exchange, and food experiences.⁶

CJ Foodville’s Baek Ji-sun, head of BM3 Team, said the organizer would work so the remaining second and third sessions could be operated with higher completion and become representative summer-season content for N Seoul Tower.² The statement matters because the remaining announced sessions after June 22 were the July dates, and ticket demand had already caused early closures for the first two sessions.

Schedule and Ticket Notes

The announced 2026 dates are June 13, July 4, and July 11, with each event running from 4:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.¹ Since the June 13 session has passed, readers mainly need to check the status of the July 4 and July 11 sessions when planning.

The strongest ticket warning from the available material is that applications moved quickly. Before the first session, CJ Newsroom said the June 13 session had sold out.⁵ After the first session, CJ Foodville reported that both the first and second sessions had closed early and that cumulative ticket sales had exceeded 3,600 people.² The sources provided do not include a remaining ticket count or refund policy.

For visitors deciding whether the event fits their plans, the available facts point to three practical considerations. First, the core walking distance is about 6km. Second, the walking portion has been described as roughly 1 hour and 30 minutes, but the full event window is much longer. Third, the event begins at Baekbeom Square and is linked to post-walk activity at N Seoul Tower, so participants should plan around both the start point and the after-walk program.
