Tune your run

Tune your run

A group of primary students from around Canterbury joined the active transport revolution and found that the days of running alone are over.

Using technology they tracked and synchronised their running and walking with a sensor in their shoes that talks to their Ipod. The students experienced playing a song for an extra boost.

During the day Kids Congress students made advertisements that inspired couch potato kids
to live more active lives. The workshop 'Tune Your Run' helped active students live the dream.
