Want to run with the world? Nike is making it happen

When I run, I generally run alone. Sometimes I’ll bring my dog, and occasionally a friend will join me, but far more often than not, it’s just me. And I’m not complaining — in fact, that’s the way I like it.

However, one of the things I love about running is the feeling of community. Any duration I go for a run, I know there’s someone else out there, someone who’s facing the same challenges I am, someone who will push through to the end of that final mile (and whether they can do it, so can I). There’s so much support for runners, both in local club profile and online. And next, of course, there’s the feeling of being a part of an actual race.

Nike is capitalizing on that feeling by promoting the Nike+ Human Race. Rather than just running with society who join a race in your area, you have the option

to run a 10k on the same day as thousands of other public all across the globe. Races are set for cities around the world, from New York to Madrid to Shanghai, or you can join in on a run by yourself with the Nike+ gear. Of course, you could just go for run on August 31st and know that you’re joining runners the world by — it’s up to you!
