For every 1km you run, Nike will donate $5 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation! The catch? You’ll need an iPod and a Nike+ Sports Kit so that the information will be uploaded onto the Nike+ website. I suppose this could be a sales booster for both Apple (not that they need more sales from the bestselling iPod!) and Nike’s footwear / Sports kit!

Assuming you already own an iPod, for an extra $50, you can get the sports kit and run 10km with it. So you’ve essentially donated your $50 you paid for the sports kit to the Make-A-Wish Foundation! What’s more, you can run anytime you like, anywhere you like. You’re not in some competition. All you need to do is to clock in as many kilometers as you can, and the donation will pile up.

Anymore small prints? Yes. The donation is $5 worth of Nike products. Whether you think this is a philanthropic act on Nike’s part, or just another sales gimmick, the donation could be a real wish to a kid somewhere. It’s only until 5 December 2007, so get your running shoes on, and start running! I’m off… ;)

p/s: Figures quoted are in Singapore dollars. So i’m not sure if this is solely for Singapore. If you’re running elsewhere in the world and manage to clock into the donation, let me know!
