Are ostrya's community gatherings always held as running events?
Readers looking to participate in community events want to know whether running is just one exercise to prepare for, or if it varies by activity.
No, gatherings are hosted in various ways, including not only city running, but also ridge trekking, city hiking, and gravel riding[1][2][3][4].
The community activities of ostrya, which makes mountaineering apparel and equipment based in Montreal, are initially noticeable on city streets[5][6][7][8]. While it met with ON YOUR MARK Busan through running, the format shifted to city hiking for the Suwon event held with ON YOUR MARK Suwon[9][10].
Moving to mountain trails on 2026. 1. 13, participants departed from Samcheong-dong and walked the ridge of Bugaksan Mountain, and in an event with Souvenir Haus, they trekked Eungbongsan Mountain and Seoul Forest[11][12]. On a day centered on two wheels, a gravel ride was held with the bicycle lifestyle store Circles Cult Club[13].
Running was also held as a session commemorating a collaboration collection with Reebok, and at Velvet Trunk in Seongsu-dong, it led to an event sharing the values of sustainable running culture and vintage consumption[14][15]. What repeats is not a single specific sport, but the format of gatherings that cross between city and mountain trails to run, walk, and ride bicycles[16][17][18][19][20][21][22].
It has not yet been confirmed whether community activities are held on a regular basis.
