The flagship program of the All-Star Game scheduled for July 11 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, 'Shinhan Super SOL Summer Race', will from this season run across the field alongside adult fans.

On the 16th, the KBO announced, "To commemorate the final Summer Race held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, we are launching a participant recruitment to offer fans unforgettable memories."

According to the KBO, this year's 'Shinhan Super SOL Summer Race' has undergone major changes in participant eligibility and game format. While participants were previously centered on child fans, the eligibility has been changed to adult fans this year, providing participation opportunities to a wider variety of baseball fans.

In this tournament, two All-Star players from each team, two adult male and female participants selected through a prior public recruitment, and a team mascot form one team. The game format is a relay race passing through a total of six obstacle course segments: cycling, rolling a ball, ottopoki hurdles, precarious spoon, jumping ball baton, and flag pulling, and it will be conducted in a tournament format as before.

The bracket and advancement method have also been reorganized. This year, LG and Doosan, the two teams using Jamsil Baseball Stadium as their home, are granted a bye. Additionally, among the four teams participating in the quarterfinals, the top two teams are granted qualification for the semifinals, expanding game participation opportunities so that more teams can compete in the upper rounds.

The Summer Race, which began in 2019, has established itself as a key event of the All-Star Game where players and fans unite. Past winning teams include Lee Jung-hoo and Sands (Kiwoom) in 2019, Seo Jin-yong and Park Sung-han (SSG) in 2022, Kim Min-seok and Kim Won-jung (Lotte) in 2023, Jeong Bo-geun and Hwang Sung-bin (Lotte) and Park Ji-hwan and Moon Seung-won (SSG) in 2024, and last year in 2025, Lee Ho-seong and Bae Chan-seung (Samsung) claimed the title.

This Summer Race fan recruitment will be conducted for six days from June 16 to June 21 via the KBO All-Star Game website. Any adult baseball fan may apply; two participants of either gender must form a team and submit their motivation for participation, stories related to their supporting team, and a verification photo.

The final selection results are scheduled to be announced individually on the 24th along with instructions on the participation method. Selected fans from the 10 teams will receive tickets to the '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO All-Star Game' and commemorative goods, and the winning team will be awarded a separate prize money.
