On Sunday 31st August, the world's largest one day running event - The Nike+ Human Race - will take place at Wembley Stadium. The race will see up to one million runners across the globe competing in a 10k race. GB team captain, Paula Radcliffe, will be leading 30,000 Brits as they ‘Run for Britain’ against 25 different global cities.

The record breaking day will see up to one million runners from across the globe compete in a 10k race with each country striving to achieve the best time. The first race will kick off in Taipei, Taiwan and the last race end in LA all on 31 August 2008. Race courses will take runners via iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Taipel 101 in Taiwan.

In London runners will start the race from inside Wembley Stadium, following a live music concert headlined by a top artist (soon to be announced by Nike) before crossing the finish line at Olympic Way. Similar live gigs will take place in competing race countries around the world to energise and entertain runners before the race.

To be part of the GB team, Nike+ users can sign up now, while non-Nike+ users can register for the race from 2 June via www.nikeplus.com.

A proportion of the registration fee will be donated to one of four charities UNHCR, Livestrong, WWF and local charity Fairbridge.
