Nike has decided to convince runners to sign up for the race with a "buddy" (just for the sake of unity, and mostly to encourage runners to constantly motivate each other.) So this is a 10km race (which is like a race to my death).
To prepare runners for this strenuous activity, Nike's organizing training sessions in November (AS IN NEXT WEEK NA!) According to them:
The training sessions will be conducted in various locations around the city, and runners will participate in Nike Training Club, get tips from athletes and get an experience only Nike can bring. Runners can also prepare for race day through the more than 18 million strong Nike+ community. The new Nike+ Challenges is a feature that allows runners to set a distance goal, invite Nike+ friends to join, and race to the virtual finish line. Users can determine the name of the Challenge, mileage goal, time period and participants. Additionally, a new chat feature allows friends to encourage each other and share tips throughout the Challenge. Runners can stay motivated by checking the live leader board to track progress and see where they rank amongst their friends.
Nike’s We Run races range in distance from 5K to a full marathon and reflect the unique enthusiasm of each city.
