KakaoBank is launching a social contribution initiative to support future generations affected by the climate crisis through a marathon.
On September 6, KakaoBank announced it will hold the eco-friendly charity marathon 'Save Race 2026' in collaboration with the Korean Committee for UNICEF.
This year marks the third edition of the event, which will take place on November 7 at the Culture Square in Yeouido Park, Seoul, featuring a single 10-kilometer course.
The number of participants has increased by 2,000 from last year to a total of 7,000. The entry fee is 50,000 won, and the total donation amount of 350 million won will be fully contributed in the names of the participants. The funds will be used to support children and youth affected by the climate crisis in the East Asia and Pacific region through UNICEF.
Registration will be open from 10 a.m. on September 7 until 5 p.m. on September 18. Participants can sign up on the 'Save Race 2026' event page within the KakaoBank app.
Group registrations are also available through a 'group account.' The group leader can register, allowing 2 to 5 members to participate together. The results of the lottery will be announced on the official 'Save Race' website and the KakaoBank app on September 30.
The event will be conducted in an environmentally friendly manner, in line with its purpose of promoting environmental protection. All participants will receive six types of merchandise, including T-shirts and eco-bags made from recycled PET bottles, windbreakers, running belts, socks, and keychains. Reusable cup water stations will be set up at the venue, along with interactive programs such as climate crisis quizzes.
A KakaoBank representative stated, "To ensure a sustainable future, we are hosting our flagship social contribution campaign, Save Race, again this year. We will continue to offer various social contribution activities that our customers can enjoy participating in."
