While participants could run/ walk/ hike anytime and anywhere to complete the challenge and raise-funds, they are at the same time helping to fuel-up our Flying Eye Hospital virtually by running the miles needed. Participants who complete the designated virtual route will also have the chance to win Asia Miles!
