Of the thousands of people that showed up on the Start Line this morning for the Nike+ Human Race 10K in Melbourne, a familiar face in the crowd was Australian long distance runner Craig Mottram.

Craig let the priority runners do their thing and spent time with those hoping to run the race in under 45 minutes, providing tips and hints on how runners should pace themselves to get through the 10km’s and potentially achieve a personal best.

Other Nike athletes on the Start Line included Steve Monaghetti and various players from the AFL.
