Virtual runners could run anywhere and anytime within the designated period, and submit their running record through the app.

Gluu’s wifi connectivity.

Mrs Lin Shu Fen said, “Gluu is excited to support the SOFEA Run platform and its purpose by allowing the community to tap on Gluu’s WiFi Cloud – a shared connectivity platform that is powered by everyone and accessible to anyone. SOFEA Runners can earn points and convert them to Glits to tap to Gluu rewards. We are very happy to be part of this collaboration where we can engage ASEAN community through Gluu. This also marks Gluu’s introduction to Malaysia so its double the good news!”

  2. For this virtual running, the runners still need to run physically on their own, right? Not an avatar running on the hp screen.
