What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

We were hesitant at first about adding brand sampling to our smaller community races, but it's genuinely strengthened our events. Participants appreciate the extra value, brands get real access to health-conscious audiences, and the commission has helped us afford better timing systems and post-race refreshments.

Desert Dust 5K Series

Venue Partner

Hosting activations has become one of our favorite ways to enhance the race experience without adding stress to our operations. The brands handle their own setup and engagement, our runners get free samples they actually want, and we've generated enough revenue from these partnerships to improve our course amenities significantly.

Sunrise Mile Events

Venue Partner

We partnered with a sports nutrition brand for a post-race sampling event and were blown away by the turnout. The activation brought in an extra 200+ participants who stayed longer to chat with brand reps, and it created a natural sponsorship opportunity that funded our next three races.
