What Brands Are Saying

Real feedback from brands that have activated at Mascot Sports locations.

"We've hosted three different brand activations now, and each one has brought in extra revenue while giving our participants real value. The brands we partnered with were thoughtful about how they engaged with our ultra-running crowd, and attendees told us they appreciated discovering products relevant to their passion."
DE — Desert Ridge Trail Series, Brand Partner

"Working with a brand partner for product sampling at our annual 50K race was seamless from start to finish. The energy at the activation booth was incredible—runners were genuinely excited to try new recovery products, and it created a natural sponsorship opportunity that felt authentic to our community rather than forced."
IR — Iron Peak Ultramarathon, Brand Partner

"The activation we hosted brought our community together in a way we didn't expect. Beyond the immediate sales boost, it opened conversations between our trail runners and a nutrition brand that ended up sponsoring our spring race. It felt like a genuine partnership rather than just a sampling booth."
CA — Cascade Mountains Endurance Events, Brand Partner
