In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Kamen Rider, Thailand’s official licensed representation of Masked Rider, DEX, has collaborated with Toei Company Japan to bring us the first Kamen Rider virtual run ever – Rider Virtual Run 2021.
Starting July 1 until Oct 31, 2021, fans from Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia can register and join the virtual run. Participants can select between the 15km or 50km run, and will have until Nov 30 to submit their running proof.
There will be three different “era” or race packs participants can choose from with each entitling a different T-shirt design and medal. Additionally, the 15km and 50km races will each have a variety of categories with different entitlements.
