JAKARTA - Recently, running racing has become a new trend that has mushroomed in a number of regions in Indonesia. We interviewed a runner who took part in one of the activities. Apparently, there was a big dream that he woke up on the street.
Rafiudin Yusuf Husaini is now 20 years old. Since childhood he has defined his path as a soccer athlete. He joined the Tunas Cileungsi Football School for ten years. Rafiudin also mentioned the Indonesian Chelsea Academy as his biggest achievement.
Rafiudin's desire to become an athlete has not subsided at his age. He participated in a wild running race initiated by Speed Run. Together with the group based in Cileungsi, West Java, Rafiudin participated in a number of wild running competitions.
For him, wild running is an interesting event to show his abilities. Udin - his nickname - even admits that he is sure that by participating in a wild race his talent can be found by a talent guide.
Not without reason. He realized the huge fanfare and reach of social media in spreading information. "My goal is to participate in wild running races, none other than because there are probably many talent scouts who will see my talents and the other kids who don't have a place and don't know where to distribute it," said Udin, contacted by VOI, Monday, September 14.
As revealed by one of the Speed Run motorbikes, Jek, in the article "All night hunting for wild racing made us realize that this exciting trend is actually rebellion", their group used the wild race as a platform to bring out as many potential runners as possible by breaking into bureaucracy and official channels.
Hence, the streets and social media they choose. After all, it is not without reason that they choose to run barefoot in every wild race. According to Jek, this is a symbol of resistance to the system. Udin agrees with what Jek revealed. According to him, apart from expecting a talent guide, he can build relationships with many people, including several other athletes like him.
“Because every time I run I can make new friends. And of course those who watch will also be happy and respectful of this race. "We even have high hopes that wild racing can give birth to big stars in the future," he said.
