Your Race. Your Story. Your Book.
On 8.31.08, runners from 25 cities around the world will make history. They will run, sweat, finish, and rejoice as one, united by a common cause.
The Nike Plus Human Race: The Day the World Stopped to Run is the story of the biggest running event in history. When a million runners around the globe compete in a 10K race together, it gives new meaning to the phrase “running the world.” Each racer has a story. Each story compounds the significance of the day. In an arresting, full-color photographic portrait of the Nike Plus Human Race, all the hard work, anticipation, hopes, dreams—and payoff—will come to life.
This deluxe book will be a fascinating, first-hand account of what happened on the streets and in the stadiums of Austin and Istanbul, Shanghai and Sao Paulo, and dozens of other locations, from Antarctica to Nepal. Stories and profiles from each of the 25 host cities will give voice to the aspirations of citizen-athletes around the globe. Accounts of the race by the runners themselves, those who decided to stand up and be counted, will testify to the diversity of humanity—and the amazing boundary-breaking potential of athletic endeavor.
Every runner will have the option of creating a custom version of the book, with a personal photo on the cover. And for every Nike Plus Human Race participant in North America, race day photographs will be available at nikeplusbook.com. When you purchase the book you can make it into a singular memento!
