On 8.31.2008, runners from around the world joined together to participate in the Nike+ Human Race 10K, an unprecedented event that united not only those in 25 official race cities, but also individuals using Nike+ wherever they were. In the end, the Nike+ Human Race was one of our biggest success stories, with an official 779,275 participants representing 142 countries. Nike was excited to provide an opportunity for so many people around the world to train and run together. Nike+ members who registered for the event logged nearly 2.5 million miles training for race day, issued 280,000 new challenges and by 8.31.2008, the Nike+ community had swelled to over 1.2 million members! And if you used your Nike+ iPod Sport Kit to log your miles on race day, don’t forget to check out your trophy case on NikePlus.com to see your race day bib. The entire Nike+ community will be able to see that you were a part of history on 8.31.2008. If you want to see additional race details, or view your results one more time, you can check out the Nike+ Human Race 10K site until November 17, 2008. Also, head to the YouTube channel for the race day video, trash talk from the All American Rejects, a message from Kanye, training tips from A-Rod and more. And make sure you get a copy of the commemorative race day book at Nikeplusbook.com. With more than 300 photographs and interviews, this book is the perfect keepsake. And what’s more is that you can customize your cover with your own race day picture. Just because the Nike+ Human Race is over, however, doesn’t mean there aren’t more exciting events on the calendar.
