The world’s only "One Piece Air Pad Race" comes to Kaohsiung — team up with your crew and take on the challenge

The "One Piece Air Pad Race" was a huge hit in Taipei during the summer of 2017. In response to the eager anticipation of fans in central and southern Taiwan, the organizers have officially announced that the 2018 event will be held at "Dream Mall Kaohsiung" on March 25. Registration for this rare event is now open until February 25, 2018, via the EventCafe registration page.

The "2018 One Piece Air Pad Race – Kaohsiung Edition" retains the spirit of the Taipei event, combining fun air pad obstacles with both a running and obstacle-course experience. Not only is it entertaining, but it also adds an extra layer of challenge. Fans who pass the trials of the "Path of the Crew," overcome the nine giant air pad obstacles scattered throughout the course, summon the courage to tackle each hurdle, and finally push their limits by climbing a three-story air pad and sliding down to the finish line to claim the "Thousand Sunny Medal" will officially become part of Luffy’s crew.

The runner gear for the One Piece Air Pad Race is designed with a "fashionable and versatile" concept, featuring trendy designs that spark fans' desire to collect them. (Provided by the organizer)

What’s even more exciting for fans is that this year’s runner gear not only features an exclusive main visual but has also been redesigned with functionality in mind. The new "fashion x versatility" items are perfect not only for race day but also for everyday wear. Runners who register will receive: a T-shirt, headband, arm sleeves, drawstring bag, commemorative pin, race number wristband, and the Thousand Sunny Medal. Among these, the "commemorative pin" comes in 9 different character designs and will be shipped at random. If you register as a group of 9 or more, you’ll receive all 9 pin designs at once. For more details, please visit the EventCafe registration page.

The main visual for the 2018 One Piece Air Pad Race Kaohsiung Edition incorporates iconic elements of Kaohsiung, bringing delightful surprises to fans. (Provided by the organizer)
