Success Stories

What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess:

• IR
  Ironstone Ultra Marathon Series
  Venue Partner
  The activation platform made it incredibly easy to connect with brands that aligned perfectly with our endurance athlete community. We saw a 40% increase in vendor interest that weekend, and our participants were genuinely excited to sample products from companies that actually understood their needs. It felt like a natural fit rather than forced advertising.

• CO
  Coastal Trail Races Collective
  Venue Partner
  What impressed us most was how streamlined the entire process was—from initial outreach to on-site logistics. The brands that came through were professional and well-prepared, which meant our runners had excellent experiences at each sampling station. We've already booked our next three events through this platform because it genuinely added value for both our participants and sponsors.

• DE
  Desert Endurance Events LLC
  Venue Partner
  We were hesitant about adding more vendor activations, but this platform helped us curate partnerships that felt authentic to our brand. The engagement numbers were solid, and more importantly, our community appreciated the quality of the products being sampled—not just random stuff. It's created a reliable revenue stream we didn't expect and actually strengthens our race experience.
