Kanye West Joins Nike For Charity Race Performance

Hip Hop heavyweight Kanye West will serve as the grand finale performer for The NikePlus Human Race post race concert, bringing together both music and sport for an unprecedented, global racing event.

The NikePlus Human Race, the world's largest one day running event, will take place on August 31 in 25 different cities and a portion of the proceeds from the race will be donated to WWF, the global conservation organization, the Lance Armstrong Foundation, and the UN refugee agency's Ninemillion.org campaign.

"I'm hitting the stage in Los Angeles for the NikePlus Human Race, Nike's dopest 10k run ever. This race is bringing together hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world to run and listen to some great music while serving a higher cause, and I'm excited to perform in L.A. as part of the grand finale," Kanye West said in a statement.

Other performances will include the All-American Rejects in New York, Kelly Rowland in Paris, Moby in London, and over 20 other performers in different cities across the globe.
