Join a million other runners in a global 10K race hosted in 25 cities across the world on Aug 31. When you take part in the Nike+ Human Race, every step you run counts toward a cause you support. Don’t fret if there is not a city near by,
you can run your own race with Nike + iPod Sport Kit and log your distance and
time online. By combining the digital running world with the physical, the Nike+
Human Race is open to anyone, anywhere.
The Nike+ Human Race will help support three global charities: Lance Armstrong
Foundation, ninemillion.org and World Wildlife Foundation.
This is the first global race to reach such a large participant base and
geographic scope. There are access points in 25 cities as well as bringing the
race to every runner through a digital world with nikeplus.com. It will be an
event like no other because of its size, but also because of the experience we
are creating: live concerts on race day with top musical artists and Nike
athlete participation.
This race is expected to be the world’s largest running event. It will be held anywhere a registered runner chooses to hit the pavement. Nike has organized 25
physical race cities, but the Nike+ Human Race is truly open to everyone,
everywhere. If you don’t live in a race city, just sign up at nikeplus.com to
participate and run in your city.The 25 race cities include:
Austin
Bogotá
Buenos Aires
Caracas
Chicago
Istanbul
London
Los Angeles
Lima
Madrid
Melbourne
Mexico City
Munich
New York
Paris
Quito
Rome
São Paulo
Seoul
Shanghai
Singapore
Taipei
Tokyo
Vancouver
Warsaw
The following top athletes will be joining the sea of runners on race day:
:Lance Armstrong in the US
:Yuna Kim in Korea
:Dirk Nowitzki in Munich
You can now take your charitable giving one step further with the ‘Get Pledged'
tool on the Nike+ Human Race 10K charities page. After registering for the race
and creating a race profile, you can set a pledge goal and have your friends and family support your charity of choice. When you cross the finish line on
8.31.2008, your success will be shared with those in need.

WHITE WATER RAFTING
River rafting in the dazzling white waters of the Himalayan Rivers is the best in the world, with great rapids that challenge the body, invigorate the mind and the spirit. There are many river-rafting regions here which suit both professionals as well as amateur rafters.
The magic behind white water rafting is the extreme and never-ending thrills in the untamed rivers.
It’s that inexplicable feeling of incredible peace found in the act of flowing with the astounding current of the river.
One of the most magnificent white water rafting experiences one can have
would be on River Beas.
