MICHAEL JOHNSON PUTS THE FUN INTO RUNNING WITH NEWS KIDS APP

Olympic champion Michael Johnson has fast food on the run with the forthcoming launch of his arcade-style mobile phone casual game.

Michael Johnson’s Fun Run promises frighteningly fast-paced action, fantastic foody facts and most importantly features the message that getting plenty of exercise and eating right can lead to a healthy lifestyle.

Join ‘The Fastest Man In The World’ on top of the podium by putting in a gold medal winning performance. Whilst your fingers are doing the sprinting with a series of challenging runs it’s your mind that’s doing the thinking, reinforcing the message that a poor diet slows you down whilst healthy alternatives can put you on the right track.

Michael Johnson’s Fun Run features fast sprints and long distance runs through a variety of challenging environments. Chase your target time and cross the finish line in front of a cheering crowd to see if you can claim bronze, silver or gold.

With personal bests and multi-player leaderboards, Michael Johnson’s Fun Run is the ultimate rush of fun-filled casual gaming.

Speaking about the app Michael Johnson said: “We need more children to understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle and excercise and a good diet are key to achieving this. Michael’s app will hopefully get kids interesting in running and also teach them about a balanced diet in a fun way.”

Michael Johnson’s Fun Run will be launched alongside his Motiv8 app at an exclusive event at the Regents Street Apple store on Wednesday 11^th July at 2pm. Michael will be answering questions from fans and the media at a specially arranged Q&A session.
