French Rapper Rilės Is Running for 24 Hours in Front of Saws

What a next-level promotional stunt.

Promo stunts aren’t just faking beef with other artists anymore. French rapper Rilės just changed the game with his own by running for a day non-stop on a treadmill — in front of a saw.

To promote his new album, Survival Mode, Rilės is running for a full 24 hours (From Feb. 8 to Feb. 9) on a treadmill without any breaks. Behind him, there’s a circular saw waiting to tear him to bits should he stop.

There’s no trickery behind it, either. Fans can come watch him run because the environment that he’s in has no walls. And if you’re at home and want to check it out, check out the livestream below.

Rilės’ latest stunt is hard, but shouldn’t be impossible because he previously ran 120 kilometers in nine hours and 20 minutes without any breaks. Before that, he ran 100 kilometers in nearly nine and a half hours.

The rapper’s also been documenting his running progress on X. Last month, he ran almost 247 kilometers in what had to be preparation for his stunt.
