The golden oldie, “Let’s
Get Physical,” made popular by singer Olivia Newton-John, could well have
been written with Daegu in mind. There is an unmistakable culture here about
being physical.
Daegu’s city fathers have wisely invested in miles upon
miles of public biking and running trails. Moreover, hundreds of exercise
stations pepper the city and its environs in corner parks, civic squares, and
along rivers and roadways.

If you are into walking, jogging or biking, or if you aspire
to get started in any, or all, of these activities, Daegu is the place for
you! You’ll find people out exercising
at any time of day or night, across the seasons.
In the Daegu area you will see that synthetic tracks, those
wonderfully soft walkways usually made of recycled rubber products, have
conveniently been laid in every neighborhood. Access is minutes away.

When you choose walking, you make a healthy choice. A walk
along the river or through one of the area's numerous parks allows you to see the
sights while staying fit. If biking is your thing, the nearly endless network
of trails means you can create a unique route almost every time out. And Daegu
can be a runner’s paradise with those ubiquitous soft, colorful tracks
meandering their way throughout the metropolitan area, and well beyond.
