A Marine Corps Minecraft avatar stands in front of the digitally-replicated National Museum of the Marine Corps during the Digital Penn Relays, April 24, 2020. In the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, the Penn Relays, which is the largest and oldest track and field event in the United States, was moved online as a way to continue connecting with schools, athletes, coaches, vendors and fans. All participants logged in to Minecraft, a video game known for its pixelated style, where they entered a virtual version of Franklin Field, the typical setting for the Penn Relays. Here, players competed against each other in four track and field themed obstacle courses, one of which was a Marine Corps obstacle course. Players could also go outside of Franklin Field to this virtually built replica of the National Museum of the Marine Corps, where they could scan a real life QR code for more information about service in the Marine Corps.
