Serena promoting The NIKE+ Human Race 10K

On 08/31/08, Nike is making a statement like no other before. Nike is putting on the World’s Largest Running Event. The 10k event will be the ultimate runner experience. By combining our digital running world with the physical, the Nike+ Human Race is open to anyone, anywhere. Nike is hosting race events in 25 cities around the world, but by logging into nikeplus.com, every city and every road can become a race-day course.

The Nike+ Human Race is the world’s largest running event. It will be held anywhere a registered runner chooses to hit the pavement. Nike has organized 25 physical race cities, but the Nike+ Human Race is truly open to everyone, everywhere. If you don’t live in a race city, just sign up at nikeplus.com to participate and run in your city. Simply use Nike + iPod or Nike+ SportBand to track your miles on race day and then download miles on nikeplus.com to have your results officially counted as part of the race.

Visit www.nikeplus.com to access the Nike+ Human Race Web site and registration form where you can sign up online.

As participants in the Nike+ Human Race, runners will be able to run for one of the following charitable causes:

LANCE ARMSTRONG FOUNDATION: empowers cancer survivors to live life on their own terms and raises awareness for the fight against cancer. www.livestrong.org

THE UN REFUGEE AGENCY: the UNHCR's ninemillion.org campaign is committed to giving refugee children the chance to learn and play. Your donations help vulnerable children get the education to support themselves for a lifetime. www.ninemillion.org
