The Score
The sports giant offers a run for all humanity; that is if you've got its gear

Human Race All for one and one for Nike. Nike

Nike is doing it again. In an event dubbed “The Human Race,” the king of sports marketing is planning a one-day, 10k race for 1 million people (preferably all clad in Nike) in 25 cities across the world. The races will wind across the globe—the first is in Taipei and the last, L.A.—and each is topped off by a concert at the end. So on August 31, 2008 the world (or at least participants in the same time zones) will be running together

But, you might argue, 25 cities hardly encompass the entire human race. How could such a global brand ignore so many? Never fear, thanks to the magic of Nike+ technology, runners not living in the pre-selected spots can join in. The wireless sensor inserted in your shoe synchs up seamlessly with your iPod or wristband to track your run for a future upload to the race website. Don’t have the Nike+ technology yet? Gotcha.

is this global race benefitting anyone other then the deep pockets at nike...ya know, maybe like the rest of the people in the human race?

I was just on Nike's website and it looks like parts of the proceeds will go to the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the World Wildlife Foundation or Nine Million.Org. So maybe not all of the Human Race, but definitely some of the Human Race.

thanx
