Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Expo


We had the pleasure of getting our first event booth at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Expo last week and what a blast it was! We've been looking for creative ways to show our amazing products to the world and we thought this event would be a perfect opportunity.

Our compression socks were a hit!!


Based on our signage and skirts hanging in our booth, we were expecting mostly traffic from women. Although our business started mainly to bring about running fashions to women with running skirts and stylish / funky compression wear, we do currently have some compression socks and sleeves available for men on our online store. We also have an exciting line up of training and racing gear in the works for both men and women so patience my Lunatiks! 

Surprisingly though, we had a lot of men come through and comment on our products and wonder why no other compression company adds "style" to their socks or sleeves. Our men's Velocious compression socks and our Edge compression sleeves were actually quite a hit and sold extremely well.

The best part of the weekend was definitely meeting customers, participants in the race and other people hosting booths as well. Chatted with Deb aka @UrbanRunningGrl from www.UrbanRunningGirl.ca after originally meeting on Twitter!

The highlight of the weekend was definitely meeting 101 year old Fauja Singh who ran the 5k. For those who don't know him, he attributes his good health to eating a restricted calorie diet. Last year he was the oldest runner to complete a marathon! He drew quite the crowd.


Were you at this expo? Did you drop by the booth? Send over an email or write down some comments. We'd love to hear from you!

Next up, we will be at the Road 2 Hope Marathon the weekend of November 3rd in Hamilton, Ontario to do it all over again! If you missed the chance to try on some gear or get your hands on our compression socks or running skirts, swim by the event and come see for yourself!
