What Brands Are Saying

Real feedback from brands that have activated at City Challenge Obstacle Race locations

We were hesitant at first about adding sponsorship activations, but this platform made it seamless. The recovery supplement brand we partnered with provided real value to exhausted participants, and it created a natural conversation between the brand and our community. We saw a noticeable bump in sponsor interest for next year's race, and our participants felt supported rather than marketed to.

The activation we hosted brought in a nutrition brand that genuinely resonated with our community. Not only did we earn additional revenue that offset our event costs, but the feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive. It felt authentic rather than intrusive, and honestly, our runners appreciated having access to products that aligned with their fitness goals.

Working with brands through this platform transformed how we engage with our athletes. The energy drink sampling station became the highlight of our last event—runners were lined up all the way to the finish line. We've already booked three more activations because our participants kept asking when the next brand experience would be.
