The Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS) organized the 8th Annual 24 at 29 Endurance Run and Relay Race "Semper Fit," a challenging and grueling 24-hour endurance event held at the Marine Corps Base in Twentynine Palms, California. As a way to enhance the race experience and create a memorable finish line for the runners, MCCS decided to use an inflatable custom arch as the start/finish line. The inflatable arch served as a visible marker and its vibrant red & white coloring added an element of excitement and festivity to the event. The arch's branding elements also help create a sense of unity and camaraderie among the runners and spectators. Inflatable arches are easy to set up and take down, making them a practical choice for any race event that requires quick and efficient set-up and break-down times.
"This year’s event was the highest attended in some time, and the [inflatable] astronaut, front and center on our Portico, was a great visible draw from all over the area."
“The setup is so easy. We have had event tents and other promotional items in the past that were a nightmare to set up and break down. The inflatable is now the easiest part of the setup, and probably the most identifiable.”
“Not only have they been extremely impactful, attracting hundreds of potential consumers to our sampling teams, but the ease in which we can install them has been a great help...”
