Real feedback from brands that have activated at Rugged Maniac locations
We hosted a recovery gear brand at our fall 5K and generated meaningful additional revenue while genuinely enhancing the race experience. Our participants appreciated the sampling stations, and the brand rep was so engaged with our community. This is now a core part of how we fund our events.
We partnered with a sports nutrition brand for sampling at our summer 5K series and it was fantastic. The vendor was professional, setup was seamless, and our runners absolutely loved getting free samples post-race. We've already booked three more activations for next season.
The activation platform made it so easy to connect with quality brands that aligned with our community values. A hydration company sampled at our weekend race and the engagement was off the charts—runners were signing up for their loyalty program at the finish line. It felt like a natural fit, not a forced sponsorship.
