TikTok's Running Man trend is not only fun but also a great exercise as well. It's a leading challenge on the For You Page, potentially bringing in thousands of views. For those who aren't interested in gaining followers, it's still a fun challenge to do with a friend.
Nothing is more enjoyable than watching humorous challenges on TikTok. The platform is a breeding ground for trends; this year alone, it produced viral sensations like The Teenage Dirtbag challenge and the Outlander challenge. Now TikTok has one more to add to their list. The Running Man Challenge.
The Running Man trend on videos are being posted to TikTok featuring the trend under the hashtags #runningmantrend and #runningtrend.
Tips On Posting The Running Trend To TikTok
Using its coordinating sound is the best way to strive for viral success for this trend. The sound uses music from "Can Can, Offenbach" by Beethoven's Wig, but the easiest way to use it is by finding a video featuring the challenge, such as find the Timer icon from the editing menu on the right, and tap it to choose a three-second or ten-second countdown. Before recording, ensure both participants know who is in the front and which direction they are facing. Then, tap the 'Start countdown' button and let the challenge begin.
While the challenge is meant to be fun and harmless, it's essential to know that it does come with some risks. For one, the person doing the lifting should to lift with their legs so as not to cause back injury. And the person doing the running must be aware of the person raising them so they don't accidentally kick them. Need a less active TikTok activity? Try the Emoji Word Challenge. It's equally funny, but it won't send anyone to the hospital.
