On July 21, the two people, Alex and Horan will hold a running showdown event near the Han river, Seoul, through the “The Human Race Training Run” in preparation of Nike’s world biggest one day running event on August 31. (more info here)
This coming Monday, July 21 at 5:00 PM, in Yeouido district, the Seoul participants can both do the training run and also meeting with these two Clazziquai’s members who have been doing their own activities after their latest album came out end of last year. Alex and Horan will each lead their own teams and challenge each other in this “Training Run” event. This event attracts many interests from the fans because it’s like a surprise reunion for the fans to see Alex and Horan in an event together. Especially because they both have been doing their own activities, Alex with his new album “My Vintage Romance”, and Horan with her own acoustic group, Ibadi.
And next month, on August 31, Nike’s biggest one day running event called “Nike+ 10K Human race” will be held in Seoul, along with the rest 25 cities and 100 million people around the world. This 10k event will span multiple continents and cover 25 cities, including LA, New York, London, Madrid, Paris, Istanbul, Melbourne, Shanghai, Sao Paulo and Vancouver. Following races in each city, participants will be treated to an exclusive music concert featuring one of today’s top artists.
Each city’s race will start on the same day, with the first race kicking off in Taipei and the last ending in LA. Race courses take runners by famous landmarks such as the famed LA Coliseum, Taipei 101 (the world’s tallest building), Mexico City’s historic center and the Puerta del Sol in Madrid. Istanbul’s race course will span the city’s famous Bosphorus Bridge, closing it to car traffic to literally allow participants to run from Europe to Asia and back again.

Alex and Horan hope that many young people would want to participate in this event also. This will be a good way to challenge each other outside their own individual activities, making music and doing their own thing. Alex said that by doing this event with a dear friend outside Clazziquai’s activities, it’ll give them a chance to challenge each other in a positive, healthy way.
(True. What more challenging than running together in a big event like this? I agree, this is indeed such a great idea for them both to be doing this event. If only I live in Seoul, keke. The Nike+ 10K Human Race event is pretty cool too. For US residents, check this site out for more info.)
