What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

The sampling activation we hosted connected us with a fantastic energy drink company that resonated perfectly with our runner demographic. What surprised us most was how the activation created genuine buzz on social media—participants were posting about their experience for weeks afterward, which gave us amazing organic marketing we couldn't have afforded otherwise.

Coastal Sunrise Marathon Events

Venue Partner

We partnered with a major sports nutrition brand for their product sampling station at our annual 5K, and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made for community engagement. The activation brought in over 400 additional participants that year, and our members appreciated having access to quality products they actually wanted to try. The brand team was professional and the revenue share helped us fund our youth running program.

Thunderbird Trail Running Club

Venue Partner

We were hesitant at first about hosting a brand activation, but the platform made it seamless to coordinate with a recovery supplement company. Not only did we earn commission on every product sold, but we built a real relationship with the brand that led to ongoing sponsorship opportunities for future races. Our runners felt like VIPs getting exclusive early access to products, and everyone won.
