The 'Lotte Aquathlon' was held, featuring a swimming course in Seokchon Lake followed by a climb to the 123rd floor of Lotte World Tower.

This year's event saw a record-breaking turnout of approximately 1,000 participants.

Combining swimming in Seokchon Lake with a vertical marathon at Lotte World Tower, participants challenged themselves to complete the course by swimming 1.5 km in the lake and then climbing 2,917 stairs to the 123rd floor of the tower.

Lotte also highlighted its achievements in water quality improvement, noting that Seokchon Lake maintains a transparency of over 2 meters and meets Grade 1 standards in most water quality environmental criteria.
