2009 Great Lakes MultiSport and Running Expo EXCEEDS Expectations


The first of its kind anywhere in the Midwest, the 2009 Great Lakes Multisport and Running Expo widely exceeded expectations of both vendors and attendees. Over 3,200 paid attendees spent Saturday and Sunday buying the latest in running, cycling, triathlon, and swimming equipment. Over 56,000 square feet of exhibits offered everything from nutritional supplements to the chance to run on a $75,000 anti-gravity treadmill.
Here's what some of our Attendees, Exhibitors, and Speakers had to say about the 2009 Expo
From Our ATTENDEES
I just wanted to thank you guys for putting on such a great event!
Jennifer G.

We went today (Saturday) and had a great time. The event was affordable, well advertised (even my non-athletic friends had heard about it via TV coverage), in a nice venue, well organized, and had great exhibits with friendly staff promoting quality products and providing useful information. And, best of all, it jazzed us up for another great season of biking, running, tri-ing, and other fun. It not only met my expectations — it exceeded them!
Laura K.

Very neat, I am glad I went — it was excellent.
Kevin K.

I went to the expo on Saturday (from Chicago) and you guys really put on a great event. The venue was well suited and easy to get to, and the exhibitors were enthusiastic/approachable, and very knowledgeable. I'll definitely be back next year.
Dave S.
Please express my sincere thanks to everyone that made that event possible, you guys did an outstanding job!
Mark D.

This expo was a wonderful addition to the Milwaukee winter events, hope to see it year after year and continue to grow!
Robin T.

This was a great event and I am glad I did the TT and attended overall.
Steven P.

Just wanted to send a note to say thank you for putting on such a great event and for fighting for such a great cause. I was blessed to become a proud father a couple of days after the InStep run and I couldn't imagine what the parents of children who are stricken with cancer must go through. I am happy to participate in any event that you sponsor not only because they are well organized and fun events, but also because the cause cannot be beat!!!
Tim W.

From Our EXHIBITORS
What a great EXPO you put together and it was wonderful to be a part of it!  Thank you for the opportunity.
Vicki Rock, Take-A-Seat

Thanks again for the expo, we were very happy with the interest and turn out, and definitely look forward to working with you next year.
Tom Labisch, InStep Running and Walking Centers

Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the 2009 Great Lakes Multisport and Running Expo. We were absolutely thrilled to support the RACC organization in our own small way while gaining exposure for our business and the glove lines we manufacture. The event was a huge success! A pat on the back to RACC and all the volunteers that make RACC "go".
Annie Golding, Occupational Textile Solutions, LLC

Yes, indeed... I had a great time and more importantly the EXPO was a huge success for both RACC and TRIWIS. Cole, your group was very thorough and was in place the whole time. I am sure it doesn't seem like that as you may have felt chaos. But from the participants and attendants, it was smooth as silk. Your "yellow shirt gang" was quite impressive. Thanks for letting TRIWIS make a big splash.
Al Deleon, TriWisconsin Board Member

Wow! What an event. Totally exceeded my expectations of what our practice could accomplish by being there. I think I expressed to each of you that we sold tons of product, scheduled several new patients, and today (Monday) have had many calling to check on their insurance and make more appointments. I would have done this just to support the RACC effort, but the success in promotion is a huge bonus for us. It looks like it was a huge effort and you guys are to be commended! I also connected and re-connected with lots of other practitioners and former patients which was huge. We had a steady stream of people signing up for our internal drawing and this will be a welcome growth to our email database for further promotion.
Andy Kerk, Body Mechanics

I just wanted to touch base with you to say THANKS. If you can pass a big THANK YOU to all your crew also. They did great work this past weekend. I believe the expo went very well and I think it will be even bigger next year.
William Muhlstadt, The Center 4 Muscle Recovery
From Our
SPEAKERS
Very well done. It was great fun for me.
Frank Shorter

The event your team put on was lights out! Completely and totally awesome! I still can't believe it was a first year event, absolutely amazing. Thanks for the good word with the talk. Life is all about using our passions and gifts to serve others. I found it incredible that I was sharing that message at a venue that was doing that VERY thing!
Josh Cox
