race expo

On Saturday we spent nearly the entire late morning/early afternoon making our way through the RnR Montreal Expo.  First stop at the Expo was race bib pickup and then on to t-shirt and swag bag pick up.

Once Neil had checked in and picked up all of his goodies it was time to make our way through the expo.

Our first stop was the Brooks Running game area where we had some fun playing a few games. We even played a competitive game skee ball which I won even with Edie sleeping in the Ergo (and no she didn’t even wake up!) I proudly wore my skee ball championship medal although after seeing Neil’s RnR race medal it wasn’t so impressive, but more on that another day.

After playing some games we made our way through the vendors and spent our time lusting over new running gear, trying some samples and of course getting our photo taken.

As much as I would have liked to have purchased everything in site Neil and I both held off since I am in need of new running shoes, which aren’t cheap. We did however pick up a few Bondi Bands which Edith just had to model for you (don’t worry she won’t be running for beer anytime soon).

Overall I thought that the race expo was really well done.  The layout was perfect and we hit very few congested areas.  I also loved the start of the expo where they had some fun games for us to enjoy.  Now I have only been to the VCM expo besides this one so I don’t have much to compare it to but overall I thought it was really well done.
