The Running Man concept is coming to real life, without the danger, but with all the adrenaline, strategy, and high intensity competition people have imagined for decades.
We are excited to officially announce RunningMan.live, a new competitive platform inspired by the iconic Running Man universe. This project blends athletic challenge, strategy, endurance, game show energy, and immersive entertainment, built for modern competitors and fans.
This is the beginning of a brand new sport, created right here in the United States.
🏃♂️ What Is RunningMan.live?
RunningMan.live is a real world, controlled, safe, but intense multi day competition held on 10 plus acre outdoor arenas designed with:
Forest and brush zones
Open sprint lanes
Hiding structures
Obstacle paths
Drone surveilled chase areas
Safe zones and recharge stations
Tactical hunt zones
Events can last from 24 hours up to multiple days, depending on the format and course layout.
Contestants, called Runners, attempt to survive, outsmart, and outmaneuver skilled Stalkers armed with non lethal pursuit equipment, padded melee tools, gel blasters, foam impact weapons, capture devices, and other safe but adrenaline pumping systems.
Think of it as a mix of survival, endurance, obstacle course racing, hide and seek, escape room style strategy, tactical game play, and live entertainment. All professionally managed, constantly monitored, and safety supervised.
👟 We Are Looking for Contestants, Runners
