TikTok users in Los Angeles are going viral for a bizarre new trend where they run into Scientology buildings to see how far they can get before being stopped and thrown out.

The clips, often filmed in Hollywood, show creators rushing through the front doors, sprinting down hallways, and sometimes even using skateboards to push deeper into the building. The goal is simple: make it as far inside as possible.

The challenge has quickly been dubbed the “Scientology run,” with users trying to one-up each other after one viral clip claimed to show the “deepest recorded run.”

    Maybe they can do the Area 51 ninja run that was promised a few years back there. Would love to see where they keep Xenu’s frozen body or whatever.

      Area 51 is both:

      • An actual military facility for testing experimental aircraft
      • Quite remote desert

      This means that actually getting into it means:

      1. Being able to carry food and water long distances across inhospitable terrain
      2. Going to jail when you’re caught

      I don’t recommend it.

        The number of people willing to carry food and water across the desert for a couple days, to be arrested while looking for nonexistent extraterrestrials is small.

        Lots of better things to get arrested for.
