KINTEX will hold its first hybrid sports festival "BEATEMPO KOREA 2026 X F45" with global fitness brand F45 KOREA, where you can enjoy running, fitness, yoga, meditation, and performances in one place.
The event will be held in Hall 7 and 8 of KINTEX's second exhibition hall for three days from December 25 to 27. It is the first complex sports MICE event in Korea that combines experience, exhibition, and performance with sports content, and features a variety of sports and cultural programs regardless of the weather in an indoor space of about 22,000㎡.
Tickets will be sold through CJ OnStyle Mobile Live Commerce from 8 p.m. on October 6.
The event program was organized to combine EDM music and lighting with exercise in line with the name "BEAT×TEMPO" so that participants can enjoy sports in a dynamic atmosphere.
At night, "ANTIDOTE" will provide a unique experience that combines sports and music with performances by top Korean artists and community gathering where participants mingle together.
In addition to exercise, it will also present a wellness program for rest and recovery. BEATEMPO 110 BREATHE, with the central headquarters of the Jogye Order, operates various programs for body and mind recovery, including food therapy, breathing meditation, sound meditation, and yoga.
In particular, the food therapy program will feature temple food masters Sun Jae and Jeong Kwan, who appeared in Netflix's "Black and White Cook" and "Chef's Table", respectively, to provide participants with a special experience of combining temple food and wellness.
In addition, various hands-on contents such as F45's pilates program "FS8" and a pop-up zone for Buddhist goods will be prepared.
There are also plenty of benefits and side programs for participants. With the support of Coca-Cola, Bose Korea, Fila Korea, Neoldam, Ganong Bio, Balboa Kitchen, Sweatyfe, and Araum, participants will be offered welcome kits and prizes.
Among the running participants, the first 100 on-site participants will also be offered the opportunity to experience Fila Korea's running shoes and Bose Korea's new products earbuds. In the Recovery and Wellness Zone, spa buses, ice plunges, and massages are operated, and Coca-Cola sponsored F&B zones and photo zones with various concepts are also created.
Lee Min-woo, CEO of KINTEX, said, "BEATEMPO KOREA is an event where you can enjoy running, fitness, yoga, meditation, and various cultural programs together in an indoor space regardless of the weather."
