AI Summary
Nexon hosted the Kivotos Run 2026, a charity event with 4,500 fans. The 5km run celebrated 4.5 years of Blue Archive with various festivities. Proceeds will be donated to the Purme Foundation Nexon Children's Rehab Hospital.

Nexon announced on the 15th that they have successfully wrapped up 'Kivotos Run 2026', the first-ever offline charity running event for Blue Archive. Held at Misa Boat Park in Hanam, Gyeonggi-do on the 14th, the event marked the 4.5th anniversary of the game's global service. It is a notable first for a domestic subculture title, with a turnout of 4,500 participants.
The event centred on a 5km run, but the organisers clearly wanted to make a day of it. Before the runners hit the pavement, the team led warm-up stretches on stage, with General Producer Kim Yong-ha and the rest of the dev team joining in to chat with the fans. To keep spirits high, DJ KARUT delivered a set, followed by a cheerleading performance that really amped up the crowd before the starting signal.



Those who crossed the finish line were awarded a medal and a handy Galaxy Store coupon for their troubles. The organisers also set up photo zones where runners could snap a picture with their bib number and name to mark the achievement. Back at the main stage, the programme continued with an awards ceremony, a lucky draw, and a DJ set by Mitsukiyo to close things out.
The festivities didn't end there, as the 'Chale Store' was stocked with official merchandise, and fans had plenty of opportunities for photo ops with costumed cosplayers. More importantly, a portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the Purme Foundation Nexon Children's Rehabilitation Hospital, putting the community's passion to good use.
Blue Archive General Producer Kim Yong-ha reflected on the day, saying, "While we've built plenty of tasty memories through our previous food and beverage collaborations, I think Kivotos Run 2026 will be remembered as a particularly healthy one. I’m incredibly grateful to all the 'Senseis' who joined us, and we look forward to bringing you more unique content and events that capture the true essence of Blue Archive."
