ASICS is inviting teams of up to six people each to compete in the ASICS Planet Ekiden 2021 to help boost the world through sport. Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, which drew over 56,000 people from 179 different countries, ASICS is once again calling on runners all over the world to unite and run together with their team on November 10 to 22, as part of its ongoing mission to uplift the world through sport in 2021 and beyond.
The ASICS World Ekiden 2021 is one of many ASICS events taking place in October to encourage as many people as possible to start exercising and contribute to vital worldwide research. To participate, users merely need to record their psychological condition before and after any workout using the Mind UplifterTM. All results will be added to the overall World Uplift Score and will be tracked live on the World Uplift Map.
