Success Stories

What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess.

• North Seattle Running Collective
  Hosting recovery supplement sampling during our half marathon expo was perfect timing and the vendor was easy to work with from start to finish. We saw immediate revenue from the activation fees, plus our community got access to legitimate products they actually wanted to buy, which strengthened our reputation as a curator of quality experiences.

• Puget Sound Endurance Events
  The activation program brought in a sports apparel company that had our participants genuinely excited—we had lines at their booth the entire day. Beyond the immediate sales boost for them, it added real value to our race experience and the attendees appreciated having quality product recommendations from trusted brands.

• Cascadia Trail Running Co.
  We partnered with a nutrition brand for a sampling activation before our fall marathon, and it was honestly the most engaged our runners have ever been at an event. The brand rep was professional, the samples were perfect for our demographic, and we ended up with three new corporate sponsorship leads as a result.
