Training Series Officially Kicks Off Today
How will I train for the Nike+ Human Race 10K? With Nike.

Beginning this week, Nike will host a 6 week training program for free!

I'll be at the Guero's run on S. Congress at 7:00 p.m. tonight (Tuesday, July 22) for the official Nike+ Human Race10K training run kick-off party, complete with special guests like Governor Rick Perry, Mayor Will Wynn, and RunTex Founder Paul Carozza. This run will provide you with everything you need to know about the race in addition to giveaways and a surprise post-run LIVE performance by one of Austin's own local musical acts. You can also register for the Nike+ Human Race 10K, if you haven't already. Or, you can register right now at nikeplus.com.

Beginning with the kick-off run on Tuesday and continuing every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (see times and locations below) until race day, Nike will be hosting free, instructor-led training runs. Each week, you'll have three opportunities at three awesome Austin locations to run three mile or five mile runs. Following each Tuesday training run, you'll be treated to a free concert by an awesome local band at Guero's. On Thursdays, enjoy food, beverages and festivities with your fellow runners at SIX Lounge. Below is a schedule of when and where each training run/registration opportunity will be from here until race day:
