It's Nikes money & they can spend it any way they want, besides it keeps lots of runners in good shape, & we all know what a fat world, this is !! I think it's a good thing.. If U dont like it stay home on the couch, with your chips & beer !!

What a waste of energy just to advertise ones product. Aren't we supposed to be conserving energy and putting it to better use? What a total waste! Just the food energy burnt up in this event would keep the starving people in some village alive for a considerable length of time in some third world country. Regards, Sumner Berg
