Where in the World is Phil The Frog?




The name is frog.Phil the frog.
Has run 27 official international races, has hopped across 115 different cities across the world.He is 5 inch tall, has goofy eyes and a kiss on his cheeks, prefers traveling in his own tube shaped pill and has even made a guest appearance in the Sydney Olympics.

Though both Phil and Phil's pill are cute and tempting to keep, once a runner receives Phil he/she is faced with a decision to follow the rules and send him to someone else, or be socially deviant and keep him for selfish reasons.And so , from one runner to another, across the globe, Phil has been passed over for the last 7 years.


Started by 'run planet' team, as what seems like an anthropological project, the aim was to helps break down xenophobia, teaching people to live together and resulting in world peace.

So this November, be it bangkok or delhi, will Phil be Poached Salmons run buddy for the marathon?
