Kids at primary schools have to run 1km per day. It’s 1.5kms for middle school students and 2 kms for high school and university students. And records will be set for every student.

Some students have little exercise and the campaign can make them run. But some people don’t think so. They think some schools don’t have enough place for students to do running. If students have to run on the road, maybe it is not safe. They also think there are many ways to become healthier; running is not the only way.
