Nike Human Race

Saturday, October 24, 2009 will be the second installment of what Nike is billing as:

the world’s largest one-day global running event. Nike-hosted Human Race events will be held in more than 24 cities globally, from Buenos Aires to Rome. U.S. races will be held in NYC’s Prospect Park, at the University of South California (USC) and at Ohio State University (OSU)

The great part about this race, is that it will take place anywhere that any of its participants happen to find themselves at any particular time on Saturday the 24th. Nike is, however, organizing group events in some of the larger cities. The group run for New York City area residents will be held in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.

The course is two laps around the park. The course map can be found here. In addition to the group run, Nike will be putting on events in the park, basically all day long, including a post-run show by Matt and Kim.

For those planning on running in Prospect Park on Saturday, race packets can be picked up at NIKETOWN New York, 6 East 57th Street, between 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue on Thursday, October 22th from 1:00PM to 7:00PM and Friday, October 23th from 11:30AM to 4:30PM. Packet pick-up will also be available on race day at the Nike+ Human Race in Prospect Park. Pick-up will close 30 minutes prior to the start of the race.

The race will start at 8 AM Saturday morning. Here for more details.
