This event, which embodies the ultra boost's tagline "I want to run, I can't stop," drew approximately 4,000 attendees and featured a variety of content. Trial wear of the actual shoes was offered, and many visitors tried them on.



A 7-meter high screen installed on the main stage was linked with a running machine, visualizing the energy generated by running. The event offered an unprecedented way to experience running, creating a lively atmosphere. Furthermore, the fusion of running and technology was realized through elements like "VR ENERGY RUNNING," which allowed participants to enjoy running with 360-degree 3D visuals using virtual reality.
