The Nike+ Human Race kicks off Sunday in 26 cities around the globe, including Austin, TX; Buenos Aires; Chicago; London; Los Angeles (now sold out); Melbourne, Australia; Mexico City; New York City; Paris; Portland, OR; Shanghai, China; and Vancouver, Canada. Nike will donate $5 of each $35 registration fee to the Nike+ Human Race fund, to be distributed among three charities: the Lance Armstrong Foundation, World Wildlife Fund and the ninemillion.org campaign.
