Preserving The Indigenous Culture

Virtual Sports is proud to collaborate with the popular online Running App platform, BIIB, to Appreciate, Support & Empower the Indigenous Orang Asli Community through our unique Kerchang Virtual Run 2019 (KVR 2019).

By sourcing all of our Kerchang reward tokens directly from the Orang Asli craftsmen, we are giving these skillful artisans another income source, and at the same time, we are creating awareness of our important indigenous heritage among runners and netizens.

What Is Kerchang?

Kerchang is an Orang Asli Puzzle made by hand, using natural bamboo, and it is used by the Orang Asli to uniquely gauge the intelligence of their children. The Kerchang puzzle is also used by prospective father-in-laws to test if their daughter's suitor is smart enough and worthy to marry their daughter: Young Orang Asli men who fail to solve this Kerchang puzzle will not be eligible for marriage according to true Orang Asli tradition.

Check out the accompanying photos & videos of Kerchang - do you have what it takes to solve it? By joining our Kerchang Virtual Run 2019, you will receive your very own Kerchang puzzle to test your IQ, and it makes for a good brain-teaser game.

Everyone is welcome to join KVR 2019, and because we want to encourage people from all walks of life to stay healthy and own a piece of Orang Asli handicraft, we have purposely set the required running mileage low to only 10km, and you can run anywhere¹ during the stipulated event duration, in one or multiple sessions.
