Some runs are for chasing a personal best.
And some runs are for chasing memories.

The event features an approximately 5KM Fun Run designed not just as a race, but as a Pokémon-inspired journey. Participants will choose a first partner Pokémon and go through interactive course experiences like Pokémon Gym stops, Pokémon Center hydration stations, sticker collecting, Pokédex-style activities, and a finish line moment where your partner Pokémon evolves with you.
It’s the kind of run that reminds us that not every race has to be about speed. Sometimes, running is about having fun, moving with family and friends, and enjoying the road with the same excitement we had as kids.
