Nike Public Relations Contact Info???

Does anyone have an email address for Nike Public/Consumer Relations? I'd like to send them a "nice" note about my tremendous dissappointment regarding last weekend's Marathon results. Nike really displayed their dismissive attitude by not recognizing the fastest runner because she wasn't "elite". Do they NOT understand who buy's their shoes and equipment. Forget professional endorsements, Nike just let the consumer know exactly what dreams and commitment to personal best mean ... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING if you're not in the "elite" crowd...

Ok, I've sent links to the SF Chronicle story to the "contact us" email addresses for the Today Show, Goodmorning America, The View, Oprah, and even Rachael Ray. I'm sure that these shows will jump on this story if more people do the same...
Its all about EXPOSURE now folks. If Nike won't officially recognize her, I'm sure America WILL!!!

Hi all,
Nike is announcing today that it recognizes Arien O'Connell as a winner in last weekend’s Nike Women’s Marathon with the fastest chip time, completing the full race in 2:55:11. She shattered her previous time and achieved an amazing accomplishment.
Arien will receive the same recognition and prize, including a Tiffany & Co. bowl, the full marathon elite group winner received. Arien was unfortunately not immediately recognized as a race winner because she did not start the race with the elite running group, which is required by USATF standards. Because of their earlier start time, the runners in the elite group had no knowledge of the outstanding race Arien was running and could not adjust their strategies accordingly.
Learning from the unique experience in this year’s race, Nike has decided today to eliminate the elite running group from future Nike Women's Marathons. Next year, all runners will run in the same group and all will be eligible to win.
Nike has a proven track record of supporting athletes and we’re proud to be able to honor Arien and other athletes who surpass their goals and achieve great accomplishments.
Cheers,
Nike+ / Nike Running
