The best thing about the Rilakkuma Virtual Run 2021 is that you can attempt it at your own time and pace - no need to wake up at the crack of dawn just to assemble at a fixed starting point.

All you need to do is to sync up your smart device (eg smart tracker or fitness watch), and get moving! Whether you prefer pounding the track at a stadium, taking a scenic park route, or simply running in one spot on a treadmill, you do you. It doesn’t matter so long as you manage to clock in your distance!

No pressure in clocking in the 3km distance, but if you do manage to conquer it, you’ll be awarded a special e-certificate and have your name submitted in a lucky draw, where you’ll stand to win special prizes which are likely Rilakkuma-themed as well. A screenshot showing your completed distance will have to be submitted online in order for you to be eligible.

How long you take to cover the 3km is not a deciding factor, so feel free to race your friends or just take it slow and leisurely, depending on fitness level!
