Busan–Gyeongnam Horse Racing Park

The Busan–Gyeongnam Horse Racing Park is a horse-racing track in South Korea, Busan, Gangseo-gu. It opened in 2005, at Beombang-dong.

History of LetsRun Park BusanGyeongnam

1973 — The Korea Racing Authority included a new Busan racecourse in its long-term horse-racing development plan. This proposal began the process that eventually created the present Busan–Gyeongnam Horse Racing Park.

2000 — Following years of site selection, cultural-heritage surveys, legal coordination and budget planning, the project entered its architectural design stage. Junglim Architecture planned a regional racing complex with equestrian facilities and public recreation areas.

2001 — Construction began in August at the present site across the administrative boundary between Busan and Gimhae. The racecourse was purpose-built at this location and was not relocated from an earlier site.

2002 — Equestrian facilities incorporated into the development supported the equestrian program of the 2002 Busan Asian Games. Development continued afterward toward the property’s permanent use as a Thoroughbred racing and recreation complex.

2005 — The completed complex opened in September as Busan–Gyeongnam Horse Racing Park. It included outer and inner racing tracks, a separate training track, a grandstand, stabling, equestrian facilities and public recreation areas.

2014 — The Korea Racing Authority introduced its LetsRun Park branding. Busan–Gyeongnam Horse Racing Park adopted its current public brand name, LetsRun Park BusanGyeongnam.

2025 — The racecourse celebrated its 20th anniversary and began a redevelopment program containing five principal initiatives and 31 individual projects. In December, the Korea Racing Authority opened the Heritage Hall, which documents the park’s planning, construction and opening alongside regional horse culture, notable racehorses and racing professionals.

Lets Run Park Racecourse

  • Busan–Gyeongnam is a left-handed Thoroughbred flat-racing venue where racing is conducted counterclockwise.
  • The 1,243,103-square-meter complex contains linked outer and inner racing tracks and a separate training track.
  • All three tracks are oval-shaped and have sand surfaces. 
  • The racing strip comprises an approximately 8-centimeter river-sand cushion, a 15-centimeter granite residual-soil base and a 35-centimeter aggregate drainage layer.
  • The turns have an approximately 2% inward camber, while the straight sections have an approximately 1.5% cross-slope.
  • There is approximately 1 meter of elevation difference between the lowest point near the 1,200-meter marker and the highest point immediately before the winning post.
  • The grandstand is positioned alongside the finishing straight.
  • Course lighting permits scheduled night racing.

Inner Racing Track

  • The inner track measures 1,470 meters in circumference and 25 meters in width.
  • Its turn radius ranges from approximately 115 to 137 meters.
  • It is located inside the outer track.
  • The 1,800-meter route starts on the inner home straight. Horses travel approximately 205 meters before the first turn and remain on the inner course until transferring to the outer track at the entrance to the finishing straight.
  • The 1,900-meter route uses the same starting area as the 1,800-meter route but transfers to the outer track earlier, near the outer course’s 1,300-meter point. This configuration uses the longer outer turn.
  • The 2,000-meter route begins approximately 100 meters farther back along the inner home straight. Horses travel approximately 305 meters before the first turn and transfer to the outer track after completing that turn.

Training Track

  • The training track is the innermost of the three ovals and is located entirely inside the inner racing track.
  • It measures 1,300 meters in circumference and 20 meters in width.
  • Its turn radius ranges from approximately 87 to 110 meters.
  • The track has a sand surface and is reserved for training. It is not used for official races.

Outer Racing Track

  • The outer track measures 2,000 meters in circumference and 25 meters in width.
  • Its turn radius ranges from approximately 149 to 175 meters.
  • The racecourse’s only winning post is located on the outer track, where every official race finishes.
  • KRA specifications list the complete home-straight section at 500 meters. The run from the final turn to the winning post is approximately 460 meters.
  • The 1,000-meter start is located in a chute near the third turn. Horses travel approximately 182 meters before joining the outer track between the third and fourth turns.
  • Under the 2026 KRA program, the 1,000-meter distance is restricted to designated rookie-race conditions.
  • The 1,200-, 1,300- and 1,400-meter races start on the outer back straight:
    • The 1,200-meter route provides approximately 236 meters before the final turn.
    • The 1,300-meter route provides approximately 336 meters before the final turn.
    • The 1,400-meter route provides approximately 446 meters before the final turn.
  • The 1,600-meter route starts from a 136-meter chute at the beginning of the back straight. Horses have approximately 636 meters before entering the final turn.
