Hosted by Lotte World Tower, this one-of-a-kind sporting event is more than just a race — it is a celebration of personal challenge, resilience, and achievement. Open to the public with a registration fee of 50,000 KRW, the Sky Run combines athletic spirit with meaningful giving.

All proceeds from the entry fees will be donated to the Bobath Children’s Rehabilitation Center, Korea’s first pediatric rehabilitation hospital, supporting the healthy growth and development of children in need.
The race is set to begin at 9:00 a.m. and will continue throughout the day until 6:00 p.m. at Lotte World Tower and Arena Plaza, located at 300 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul.
Registration opened on March 19 and will close on March 20 or once capacity is reached, as spots are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

With its elevation of 555 meters, the Lotte World Tower serves as a breathtaking stage for both seasoned runners and ambitious first-timers seeking an extraordinary challenge.
