Vacation Sports & Minnefota Moments Inflatable Archways

When it comes to races, Vacation Sports is the leader of the pack.

In addition to putting on about 20 of their own 5Ks, duathlons and triathlons every year, they also assist others with race production by providing equipment and other forms of help.

It seemed like they had it all together, but then they realized something was missing.

Minnefota Moments photographs races and racers. While their photos were highly professional, they knew there was a way to make them even better.

What would solve both problems? An inflatable archway from Landmark Creations.

Brothers Randy and Matthew Fulton (owners of Vacation Sports & Minnefota respectively) agree, "We wanted an inflatable archway finish line for our races. It looks so much more professional than what we had been using. We thought it would add a bit of excitement to the races. It sets the stage for our events, and it looks great in the finish line photos for the racers!"

Inflatable archways are convenient as well. Easy to inflate and deflate, it's quick work to move them from one event to the next. And, because they are so durable, arches can last for years with proper care.

The results? Lots of positive comments and even press coverage on TV, radio and in newspapers. Just what they needed to take their races and photos to the next level.
