10,000 runners of the Nike+ Human Race 10K can look forward to starting off at the F1 Pit Building at the Singapore Flyer.

After the exciting Formula One race which recently took Singapore by storm, Nike has decided to offer runners the rare opportunity to do their own race on the F1 track, by staging the starting and ending of this year's Nike+ Human Race 10K at the F1 track.

Mr Glenn Heng, Marketing Manager, Nike Southeast Asia and Singapore said, "We hope to give runners an unparalleled running experience during this year's Nike+ Human Race by combining their love for music and a very unique 10km race route, starting and ending at the F1 track."

"City runs are increasingly popular among runners, and we would like to thank the Singapore Tourism Board for working with us to bring the race to the heart of the city, where runners can take in iconic local sights such as the Singapore Flyer," he added.

Runners will now get to take to the tracks, as the Race this year will bring runners on a scenic route that will start off at the F1 Pit Building, moving along Republic Avenue onto the Nicoll Highway, passing the Kampong Glam mosque in the background and towards the iconic National Stadium before making a loop at the newly renovated Kallang Leisure Park.

The return route will see participants of this annual race going around the famous Singapore Indoor Stadium before heading to the Police Coast Guard and passing the Kallang Water Sports Centre. The home stretch will be along Kallang Road towards Crawford Street and back into the F1 Pit Building.

The Nike+ Human Race 10K will flag off on 24 Oct 2009 at 7am. Race entry pack collection will be held from 16 - 18 October, from 10am - 7pm at the Singapore Flyer.

Launched as a global initiative to offer runners all over the world the opportunity to enjoy a unique 10km running experience on the same day, Singapore is once again the only country in Southeast Asia selected to host the race. The event has met with a record success in Singapore as race registration was closed in a record six days.
