Puspita Winawati, Marketing Director of PT Amerta Indah Otsuka said, "A decade is not an easy journey for POCARI SWEAT to be able to consistently hold running events which innovate every year to bring something new. Since the pandemic, we have had to innovate to change the format to a hybrid, so it's not only held offline but virtually which can be followed from anywhere. And this year, the innovation of 100 cities flag-off simultaneously throughout Indonesia is carried out so that people can run together from anywhere at the same time. With this, we are targeting 30,000 runners who will participate from Sabang to Merauke and will remain as the largest hybrid running event in Indonesia where the main flag-off will be held at Gedung Sate, Bandung with the full support of the West Java Provincial Government."

Daniel Mananta, POCARI SWEAT Brand Ambassador said, “For me, this POCARI SWEAT Run is like Lebaran for runners, because all runners gather from all over Indonesia. It is always providing different running experience from other race experiences and the participant of POCARI SWEAT Run is increasing every year. I witnessed and participated in cheering on the POCARI SWEAT Run runners, including in virtual, I saw runners running from Aceh to Papua. And this year, I'm really looking forward to interacting with more runners. I hope the Indonesian people are as enthusiastic as I am so that they register soon and can experience the excitement of running together with POCARI SWEAT."
