What Brands Are Saying

Real feedback from brands that have activated at Breaking Free locations

The platform made it incredibly easy to connect with brands that aligned with our runner community. We hosted a nutrition brand activation last month and saw fantastic engagement—attendees spent time at our café afterward, and we've already had three brands reach out for future events. It's been a win-win for revenue and member satisfaction.

Ironside Marathon Sports Complex

Brand Partner

We partnered with a sports apparel brand for a weekend sampling event, and the turnout exceeded our expectations. Our members appreciated discovering new gear, and the brand's team was professional and respectful of our space. We made some nice revenue from the activation fee, and it strengthened our positioning as a community hub.

Brand Partner

Using this platform to host product sampling events has genuinely transformed how we monetize our venue during slower periods. A wellness brand did a fantastic activation with us last month—the energy was fantastic, attendees came early and stayed late, and we've already booked two more events. Our event coordinator said it was the smoothest activation we've ever managed.
