Success Stories

What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

The activation platform made it incredibly easy to coordinate with brands looking to sample their products at our race events. We saw a 40% boost in spectator engagement on sampling days, and our athletes appreciated the free recovery drink stations. It's become a reliable revenue stream that doesn't feel forced or intrusive to the race experience.

Ironman Texas Hill Country

What impressed me most was how professional and organized the entire process was—from vetting brands to managing logistics on race day. Our runners got genuine value trying premium nutrition products, the brands got authentic feedback from serious athletes, and we earned enough to offset permit costs. It's a win-win-win that actually feels that way.

Redwood Ridge Trail Running Collective

Working with brands through this marketplace has transformed how we monetize our events while actually enhancing the athlete experience. The gear company sampling stations became one of the most talked-about aspects of our 50K, and we've already booked three more activations for next season based on the success.
