40 Year Feng Tay / Nike Partnership
I posted an 8-minute video on YouTube from the 40-year celebration of the Feng Tay / Nike Partnership. I think the video does a great job of showing the importance and value of the two companies working together. Feng Tay was a small factory in Taiwan in 1977 when Phil Knight and C.H. Wang signed the first Supply Agreement.

Nike's Hood to Coast History
[Updated June 2018] Hood to Coast started in 1982. This is the 37th year.
Nike has entered at least one team every year since 1983. There have probably been at least 20,000 Nike employees and affiliates from around the world who have participated over the years. Hood to Coast Nike to its running heritage and is in our own backyard.
Tarahumara is the only Nike team to participate every one of those years and has only lost their division twice; in 1987 and 2006. A victory this year will be 33rd time.
Nike holds almost half of the division records (7 of 16) including the overall 1995 Mambu Baddu record which converts to 4:51 per mile.
Nike also holds the longest standing division record set by Nike Team Swoosh in 1992.
About me, I've run or walked 28 times: 14 Nike Hood to Coast teams and 14 Nike Portland to Coast teams. 17 of those years I was on a team that won its division. (can anyone beat that?)
1985-1995: Tarahumara, Corporate Mixed. Won 10 of 11 years.
1996-2001: Limp Swooshes, Men's Masters. I couldn't run 3 years.
2002-2005: T-Wrecks, Mixed Masters Walking.
2006-2015: T-Wrecks, Mixed Super Masters Walking. Won 7 of 9 years.

Now some Nike HTC history. My history-keeping fell off in recent years.
