 will be hiding somewhere along the Wally Run 2016 Aichi, a fun run event organized by SportsOne Co., Ltd., a company planning and executing over 3,000 participatory sports events every year.)
Wally Run will be held on Oct. 15 at Japan Monkey Park in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture. It pays to be an early bird too, as you can get tickets at a discount price through the early booking period starting from July 11!
Wally Run is the perfect place to experience the world of Where’s Wally? up close as all participants will receive a set of Wally’s peculiar clothing including an orange-white striped long-sleeve T-shirt and hat plus a pair of glasses. Dressed up as Wally, you can take some cool photos at the photo spot and look for Wally’s lost objects hidden throughout the course.
There will also be pro cameramen taking pictures of all the Wallys assembled, which will be available in a photobook for a fee. This way, even after the event is over, you can have fun finding yourself as Wally~
A previous Wally Run was held at Toshimaen in Nerima-ku, Tokyo with 6,000 fans - this gives a taste of just how loved Where’s Wally? is in Japan.
