The Ultimate Guide To Swimming Medals, Caps, Awards & Trophies 2023

Welcome to our 2023 Ultimate Guide to Swimming Medals, Caps, Awards & Trophies

Therefore, as of 1st October 2022, Running Imp Ltd acquired Events FR in a major acquisition, and we will continue to work very closely with Neil over the next year to ensure a seamless and successful transition.

We also saw the resurgence of triathlons, swimming events and school sports days making a much-welcomed comeback. Let’s hope that this trend will continue during 2023.

January 2023 will also mark 35 years since I cofounded the business in 1988. Little did I imagine that it would have grown into the family business that it has today.

For the last 16 years Running Imp and Events FR have competed against one another as two of the top companies in the industry, but now, with Neil Landry wishing to retire from the industry it made perfect sense for Running Imp to acquire Events FR.

After the uncertainty that Covid-19 brought in 2020, decimating our industry, it was great to see a multitude of fun runs, road races and mass participation events gradually starting to return last year.
