The first 2,000 fans will receive a Nickelodeon Night commemorative poster featuring the Power Rangers and will enjoy thematic in-arena music and trivia throughout the evening.
In addition to the Nickelodeon Night featuring Power Rangers elements, the game will also feature unique activation courtesy of Corrigan Sports Enterprises and the Delaware Running Festival (CSE). CSE, which organizes and hosts running festivals and events across the nation annually, will feature an “Awareness Run” in the Sevens Courtside KidZone. Here, a trained athlete will run on a treadmill throughout the game. Should the athlete complete a half-marathon prior to the conclusion of the basketball game, all fans in attendance will receive a voucher for a free Jimmy John’s sub. CSE will also make a financial contribution to the March of Dimes for each mile the athlete runs.
The Awareness Run will also serve to promote the Delaware Running Festival. Corrigan Sports acquired the event this year and looks forward to making the race a staple for runners in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Fans can also catch two new episodes of Saban’s Power Rangers Ninja Steel airing back-to-back this Saturday, March 18, at 12 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.
