Overview

Execution

This year, using an innovative digital action the Nike+ The Human Race 10k was experienced live as told by the runners.

The commentaries of five celebrity runners where broadcasted live using a combination of voice data, Twitter and Google Maps to share on the web what was going on in their heads during the race in real-time without interfering with their performance. Using a cellphone strapped to their arms and an earphone, simply by pressing a button, the runners were able to share their experiences with the world in real-time. The voice message was turned into a text message that was automatically published at http://thehumanrace.com.ar/envivo, in their Twitter accounts, banners and digital media. This technological marvel was topped off with a GPS that showed in real-time the exact location of the runners and the relay point of each message.
