NIKE

We created an “unsanctioned” Rivalry Run in celebration of Ohio State playing against Michigan. The course weaved through OSU’s sprawling Columbus campus.

We designed the course and outfitted it with a mix of organic and deftly designed elements. The race began at 9:34pm, and at the starting line, runners were greeted by the iconic Brutus Buckeye, OSU cheerleaders as well as the famed Ohio State University band.

The route featured a number of custom light installations including projection highlights of previous games, a neon Brutus, mile markers and wayfinding. At the finish line, runners were celebrated by cheering crowds, flag-bearers and custom Nike swag. They also had the opportunity to trial Nike’s latest Air Zoom Pegasus Shield 36 running shoe.
