Custom Inflatable Arch Gives Canadian Triathlon a Truly Dramatic Finish

Eye-Catching Inflatable Arch Enhances Triathlon Finish Line

Amy Murphy was in the market for a giant inflatable arch.

As Run Director for the TriRiver Triathlon – held annually in picturesque Peace River, Alberta – she wanted a structure that could serve as the finish line for multiple sporting activities. It had to be durable, attractive, and professional. It had to provide a memorable finale to the Triathlon's running stage. And it had to reflect the regional event's growing popularity and prominence.

In short, it had to be awesome. "Second best" simply wouldn't do.

So, Murphy turned to Landmark Creations. And, with her guidance, Landmark constructed the eye-popping Peace River Arch, a towering tri-color inflatable measuring 12 feet high and 17 feet wide.

Today this striking inflatable arch welcomes weary racers in style. So far, it has played a major role at a local run, at an obstacle race, and (of course) at the TriRiver Triathlon. In the future, no doubt, it will make an impact at many other events.

Why did Murphy choose Landmark to create the custom inflatable? She found the company online, she says. And, right from the outset, she enjoyed "good communication" with Landmark's design and construction team.

What Others Say About Landmark Creations

“The setup is so easy. We have had event tents and other promotional items in the past that were a nightmare to set up and break down. The inflatable is now the easiest part of the setup, and probably the most identifiable.”

- Vaughan Cutillo, Montauk Brewing Company

"We received our inflatable and gave it a test run Saturday afternoon. To be short; Excellent Work. Thanks again for all your efforts."

- Curtis Gadula, Brock University

"Give our races a 'big event' feel. They look cool in photos and videos, and they help us establish the look and feel of our brand."

- Sam Abbitt, Savage Race

"[There was] fun, excitement, and encouragement for everyone to actually walk under/through [the arch] and it worked. We have cheerleaders and small children at the finish line by the arch handing out stickers, saying ‘I did it.’ Before we had the arch, [people] would straggle in anywhere."

- Jackie Allen, March of Dimes

“This has created tremendous buzz around town and we have received a great deal of compliments on the Big Tire. Exposure is my goal, and the inflatable does that better than anyone, including me, can do at these events. The Big Tire never takes a break, gets tired or has to take a call. It just keeps shining bright and the kids love it.”

- Ed Chaney, Ed Chaney Tire Center Inc.

“We knew Landmark was the only company that would be able to understand our vision and work to make it come to life.”
