A 15m Orbit stage hosted stage based activities for the 15,000 participants
China - Nike has just rolled out a new ad campaign in China that called on people to run, even at night in an attempt to challenge Chinese people, especially from big cities, to put on their running shoes.

As part of the campaign, Nike hosted Lunar Runs a 10 kilometre race, in three cities across China - Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou with the famous TV tower, the tallest building in the city, as the backdrop to the Guangzhou event.

Two full loaded trucks and a core crew from Star Orbit China which is a fully registered WFOE (Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise) made the 30 hour trip from its base in Shanghai to provide a 15m Orbit stage which hosted stage based activities for the 15,000 participants featuring live music, race winners and a few celebrities to jog a few memories that running is a fun activity that can be also done at night.

Jo Xie, Star's general manager in Shanghai said, "It was a challenging build as there was a total ban on forklifts, but Jarvis our crew boss directed a strong team of 20 locals very efficiently and despite the persistent rain which hindered the build somewhat we finished right on schedule."
