Nike She Runs the Night 2013
The country's first women-only night race returns after a sell-out year.
Overview
On May 3, 2012, over 3000 women came together in Sydney's iconic Centennial Park for the inaugural Nike She Runs the Night event. It made Australian history by being the country's first women-only night race. After a sell-out in 2012, the course has expanded for the 2013 race, giving more space for more runners. With a now 90,000-strong Facebook community, the 2013 Sydney race will without a doubt attract even more racers.
The event includes bands and DJs throughout the course to help motivate the runners, and after the run participants are invited to a post-celebration with live music, massages, giveaways, refreshments, Nike Free Run+ 3 trials, Nike+ demos, and a photo booth.
The Nike She Runs campaign has become something of a movement for Australian women to share their common love of running and sport together. If you're a female runner looking for a fun and challenging race, this is certainly the event for you. Registration opened Thursday, February 14, 2013, and continues until the event date. There are 6000 available spots, but do make sure to sign up before those 90,000 Facebook fans swoop in.
