The Energy Hero Race is a charity marathon organized by Good People, with participation fees used to support vulnerable groups struggling with energy costs during extreme heat and cold. The 178 million won raised through this event will be used by Good People to support energy efficiency improvements for energy-vulnerable households nationwide.
The "2025 Energy Hero Race," held on the 13th at Peace Square in World Cup Park, Sangam-dong, attracted around 4,000 citizens. Participants ran either the 5km or 10km course, putting the value of sharing into practice. For the 10km course, timing chips were provided so that individuals could track their own records.
Singer Sean, along with cheerleaders Park Giryang and Seo Hyunsuk, who serve as Good People Sharing Ambassadors, also took part in the event. As the Hero Race Ambassador, Sean led the 10km course and later connected with citizens through a special performance after finishing the race. Park Giryang and Seo Hyunsuk led the warm-up and performances, boosting the spirit of support for energy-vulnerable groups.
At the event site, various activities were held, including an energy-making experience booth using bicycles, allowing participants to practice energy saving in the era of climate crisis.

In November, Good People plans to host "Give Run 2025" at Nakdong River Sports Park in Gumi and Samnak Ecological Park in Busan, so that even more citizens can participate in sharing.
