The craze began when two University of Maryland basketball players posted a video online in April dancing the ‘running man’ with the challenge “Who wanna battle????????”
The challenge was quickly accepted from people everywhere, including sports stars and celebrities, but it seems to have struck a chord with police departments ever since a New Zealand force accepted the challenge.
