Nike+ Human Race Details
All over the world, millions of runners will virtually run together on 08.31.08. In major cities chosen by Nike, such as L.A., Tokyo and London, there will be Nike+ Human Races where runners can join an official Nike race and run together. Manila is not one of those cities.
However, Nike Philippines will organize a special race on 08.31.08 to gather all the virtual runners together so they can, in fact, run the full 10k as one. This will not be an official Nike+ Human Race, therefore one should not expect the same Nike+ Human Race singlets and giveaways given in races across the globe, but it will be a real race, made more exciting and extravagant by Nike Philippines.
Note: You must have a Nike+ Sportskit or SportsBand to join the race. You have to log a total of 10km on your Nike+ on 08.31.08. If it comes out less than 10k, you will not be counted as a finisher.
