[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] The Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee announced that it will begin accepting participants for the "8th Mercedes-Benz GIVE 'N RACE Virtual Run Busan" on the 31st, in collaboration with Busan Metropolitan City and the social welfare corporation Children and Future Foundation. The event will be held over two days starting October 9.

The "Mercedes-Benz GIVE 'N RACE," held annually since 2017 to promote a culture of donation, was conducted three times last year and this year in a non-face-to-face format due to the difficulties caused by COVID-19.

The participation fee is 50,000 KRW per person, and participants can also make additional donations as much as they wish. All collected donations will be used to support medical and educational expenses for children and youth in vulnerable groups.

In this event, participants can join the run while maintaining social distancing at their preferred time and place within 48 hours during the event period.

Thomas Klein, Chairman of the Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee, stated, "The GIVE 'N RACE Virtual Run has established itself as a new untact sharing run to promote a culture of donation in the COVID era," adding, "We hope many participants will safely enjoy this good run while practicing sharing with neighbors during the beautiful season of October."
