Hollywood, CA -- You may think hearing 1980s hits like A Flock of Seagulls' "I Ran" during a running race might slow you down from an overload of stinky melodies, but Nike begs to differ.

Nike is putting on a 5K/10K run featuring various one hit wonder bands along the course -- playing their one hits over and over and over again.
