The Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco sold out in a matter of hours. But now the largest women’s marathon in the world is going online. Women runners around the world can register at nikeplus.com/runtogether to run “alongside” the 20,000 participants in the Nike Women’s Marathon.
The virtual half marathon is a race without a distinct course, run in any city and tracked by each participant’s own Nike+ system (iPod nano, Nike + iPod Sport Kit and pair of Nike+ shoes). Online participants can run the half marathon any time on October 21 (the same day as the full marathon), but must finish the 13.1 mile run by 11:59 PM HST. As long as each participant successfully runs and syncs 13.1 miles with her Nike+ system on October 21, 2007, she will be considered an official Nike+ Women’s Half Marathon finisher.
Nike+ has also developed an interactive female-specific 12-week virtual training program, designed for those training for the marathons (see www.nikeplus.com/runtogether).
