The Nike+ Human Race 10K sold out in days. Then the organisers opened up another 500 slots which were snapped up immediately.

Long lines outside the Nike store at Wisma Atria signalled a popular race. We were told by the organisers that 10,000 runners started the race.

Why then were there only 7,877 finishers, according to the Nike site?
