Lotte Card and Good Neighbors to Support Groups Vulnerable to the Climate Crisis

Recruitment for 'Good Neighbors Race with Thinkus'
5,000 Participants for 5km and 10km Events at Jamsil Hangang Park on September 21

Lotte Card announced that it will hold the 'Good Neighbors Race with Thinkus' event in collaboration with the global child rights NGO Good Neighbors on September 21, and that it will begin accepting participant applications starting August 4.

The event was organized to support groups vulnerable to the climate crisis. It is part of the 'Thinkus Day' initiative, which aims to promote environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices such as regional coexistence and environmental protection.

During the first week, from September 12 to 14, 'Thinkus Day 2nd feat. Next Local' will be held at Banpo Hangang Park in partnership with the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The second week will feature the running event with Good Neighbors at Jamsil Hangang Park from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on September 21.

Last October, the first Thinkus Day event was held at Seoul Plaza in collaboration with the Seoul Metropolitan Government and attracted approximately 43,000 participants.

The event will offer a 5km walking course and a 10km running course, each designed for children and families. On the day of the event, Thinkus will set up ESG product booths and prepare climate crisis experience programs.

The participation fee is 30,000 won for offline on-site participation (5km or 10km), and 20,000 won for online virtual certification participation (self-paced).

For the online virtual certification, participants use the 'Big Walk' application to run at their own pace during the event period and receive a certificate through the app.

All participation fees will be donated to Good Neighbors. Lotte Card plans to donate an additional amount equal to the total participation fees. The donations will be used to support groups vulnerable to the climate crisis.

Participants can register through the Lotte Card Digiroka app or the Good Neighbors website.

During September, participant kits including T-shirts, socks, medals, and more will be delivered to all participants. If the participation fee is paid with a Lotte Card, 50% of the fee will be credited as Thinkoin. Thinkoin is a point system that can be used at a rate of 1 won per coin in the Think Shop within the Digiroka app.

A Lotte Card representative stated, "We have prepared this ESG marathon in collaboration with Good Neighbors to support groups suffering from the climate crisis. We plan to match the total participation fees with an additional donation, and on the day of the event, we will operate various eco-friendly booths to introduce easy and practical eco-friendly activities and products for daily life."
