For the first time ever, the stars of Infinite Challenge—one of South Korea's most iconic and beloved television shows—are bringing their signature humor, energy, and spirit to Los Angeles. More than a race, this is a celebration where participants run, laugh, play, and create unforgettable memories alongside the show's celebrity cast.

Course Information

🏃 5K Fun Run

The 5K Fun Run is an immersive, family-friendly course set against the beautiful hills overlooking the California coastline.

Participants will explore a route that winds past galleries, schools, churches, and open green spaces, creating the feeling of running through an Infinite Challenge Village. 

Along the course, runners will enjoy interactive Infinite Challenge games, themed activity stations, and music inspired by the legendary Infinite Challenge Music Festival alongside today's K-pop hits.

With mostly gentle terrain, the course is suitable for participants of all ages and fitness levels.

🏃 10K Race

The 10K course extends beyond the 5K route toward the scenic Pacific coastline.

Runners will enjoy gentle downhill sections leading to breathtaking oceanfront roads, where dramatic coastal cliffs, refreshing sea breezes, and panoramic Pacific views create one of Southern California's most memorable running experiences.

This course offers a unique opportunity to experience California's coastline up close, making the run feel like a journey as much as a race.
