SHARE YOUR REASON!

Everyone has a reason for running the Nike+ Human Race. For some, it's simply another chance to show their love for running. For others, it's all about running for a good cause. And well, some people just want a good excuse to indulge in dessert after dinner.

Whatever your reason, tell us why! After you register, let the world know why you're running the race. Whether it's for your country or your love of ankle socks, make sure you share!

Then encourage your friends to join the race too! The bonus? Not only will you have the perfect training buddies, but you'll have an instant community to keep you motivated, inspired and running strong.

IGNITE FRIENDLY COMPETITION

Once you've told us why you're running, turn up the heat on your training by creating a Nike+ Human Race challenge for you and the community to join. Human Race challenges are a great way to get and stay motivated. What's more, challenges make it easy to connect with other runners through some friendly trash talk and the camaraderie of a friendly competition.
