On August 31, 2008, hundreds of thousands of runners around the world joined together in the world’s biggest running event ever. The Nike Plus Human Race: The Day the World Stopped to Run is the full story of this amazing race.

Scores of top photojournalists and writers working in 25 race cities—and following Nike Plus “virtual runners” around the globe—created this deluxe volume, an intimate look at why we run. The Day the World Stopped to Run is a stunning visual testament to the breadth and intensity of the race and all its runners.

The book will begin shipping during the first week of November.
