The '815 Run' is a charity marathon campaign that commemorates National Liberation Day and expresses gratitude to independence patriots, delivering a positive message of "Everything will be alright, Republic of Korea!" The event is held in collaboration with singer Sean.

Hankook & Company Group is actively engaged in various initiatives to realize social value, including CSR activities, in line with Chairman Cho Hyunbum's management philosophy, which emphasizes the social role of corporations. This sponsorship is also part of the company's efforts to honor the spirit of patriotism.

All participation fees and corporate sponsorship funds will be used by Korea Habitat to improve the living conditions of descendants of independence patriots.

This year, marking the 80th anniversary of Liberation, a record 19,450 participants joined the campaign. Of these, 4,000 participants took part in the "Offline Run," running an 8.15 km course together at Sangam World Cup Park on August 15, while 15,450 people participated in the "Virtual Run" by choosing one of the 3.1 km, 4.5 km, or 8.15 km courses at their preferred time and location, and certifying their completion via social media, thereby adding meaning to the event.

Since 2022, Hankook Tire has sponsored the '815 Run' campaign annually. Through the '815 Run' campaign, Korea Habitat has so far provided new homes to 19 families of independence patriots' descendants. Currently, the 20th, 21st, and 22nd homes are under construction.
