TCR Show 2010

Running Imp and bespokemedals.com spent this weekend at

the 2010 Triathlon Cycling and Running Show at Sandown Park in Surrey.

Over the two days, over 6,500 people visited the UK’s largest multisport show to see the very latest in sportswear and technology showcased all in one venue.

Visitors were treated to a range of interactive seminars run by athletes and sports professionals, designed

to help you take your triathlon times to new levels.

Running Imp chose this established event, a real favourite with triathletes, to unveil its new personalised medals division; bespokemedals.com.

Shining brightly amongst all the exhibition stands at the show was the ‘bespokemedals.com world’; a huge world map decorated with our favourite bespoke medals that we’ve been able to produce for sporting

events all over the globe.

Sportstiks, the innovative self-adhesive competitors numbers exclusively available in the UK from Running Imp were also on display. Exhibition staff were even wearing Sportstiks numbers whilst working on the

stand, showing just how durable and flexible this unique material is.

Here at Running Imp we would like to thank everybody who came to visit us at our stand and everybody

else for participating in what was a fantastic sporting weekend.

Here are just a few photos from our time at the TCR Show 2010...
