Ben Affleck launching The Runner for a chance to win $1 million

RunnerImageForPilgrimPage-617x353Executive Producers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are teaming up with Adaptive Studios, Pilgrim Media Group and go90.com to create THE RUNNER — the most epic cross-country chase ever filmed. And they’re looking nationwide for competitors NOW!

This thrilling, new competition show has a deceptively simple challenge: “Find the Runner!”

Somewhere in the United States, a mysterious RUNNER will be racing toward an undisclosed city. That RUNNER will be hunted by competing teams of CHASERS. It is up to the RUNNER to use strategy and determination to avoid the CHASERS and make it to the target city. The task of the CHASERS is to find the RUNNER before time runs out… or another group of CHASERS beats them to it.

So here’s the big question: Are you a RUNNER or a CHASER?
