2009 Nike+ Human Race: New York City race results, Tom Papain, Jessica Shultz finish first
New York City was one of 24 cities worldwide to officially participate in the second annual Human Race, a 10k race hosted by Nike over a 24 hour time period on October 24, 2009. By including cities around the world and allowing runners who are not located near one of the host cities to log their time using either a Nike+ iPod or Nike+ SportBand, Nike created a truly global event, one that is being called "The Day the World Runs".
The New York City Nike Human Race took place at 8:00 a.m. in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. 3,464 runners participated and finished with an average pace time of 1:02:55. Weather conditions for this morning's race were ideal, as rain held off and temperatures averaged in the low 60's.
In the men's division, Tom Papain came in first, with a finish time of 34:38. Following Papain were Felipe Vergara and William Wells, with finish times of 35:59 and 36:26, respectively.
Jessica Shultz was the top female finisher, placing first in 39:18. Stacey Barron and Kim Delany came in second and third with finish times of 39:21 and 40:48.
Runners around the world have currently logged almost 400,000 miles and many of the events are set to take place later today. All results are being posted online as races are completed.
Runners were able to make this a truly team event if they chose to connect with a Race Ambassadoror Team in Training, the official charity for the NYC event. Post race celebrations in Prospect Park included refreshments, massages, and a concert by Matt & Kim.
Other participating locations in the US included Ohio State University and University of Southern California.
