LRM in Korea

LRMs started in Korea Randonneurs' birth place: Gwangju. In 2012 the first Korea 1200 was held. Korea Randonneurs organized its longest brevet to date in 2023: the Korea 2030, to promote the bid of Busan city to organize the World Expo in 2030. The popularity of these ultra long brevets made Korea Randonneurs take the initiative for more LRMs in Korea, and a continental award: the Asia Award.
