Office Chair Race Champion
In office chair races held in Japan, there are differences in the performances and prizes of the champion teams in different events, but all of them demonstrate high competitive levels and receive generous rewards.
In the office chair race held in Hasuda City, Saitama Prefecture, the champion team came from Kyoto. They performed exceptionally well within the stipulated time of the race, covering approximately 25 kilometers in 2 hours. This achievement fully reflects the endurance and teamwork of the participants. It is not easy to move backward by kicking the ground with their feet while sitting on office chairs. The team members need to maintain a rhythm and allocate their physical strength reasonably to achieve such a long distance. Their prize was also quite substantial, receiving 90 kilograms of rice produced in Yamagata Prefecture. This was a heavy harvest for the team, as rice is a daily necessity with high practical value.
In another "Chair - The First Race" held in Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture, the champion team also had an outstanding performance. They ran 122 laps in 2 hours, which translates to 24.4 kilometers, similar to the performance of the champion team in the Hasuda City race. This shows that the teams from different regions are quite strong. The prizes for the champion team in this race were even more abundant. In addition to receiving 90 kilograms of rice, they also won other prizes worth about 90,000 yen (about 5,000 RMB). These additional prizes may include items related to office work and daily life, further increasing the appeal of the race.
These two events share a common feature: they all require participants to move backward by kicking the ground with their feet while sitting on office chairs. This unique way of racing is full of comedic effects, allowing the audience to feel a joyful atmosphere while watching the race. At the same time, for the participants, taking part in such a race is also a great way to relieve stress. They can relax and release pressure through this fun race after tense work.
