The Silent Architects of Success

Over the span of six days, more than 30 of our team members became the heroes behind the heroes, ensuring that every truck was loaded, every route was planned, and every restroom was perfectly placed and picked up without disrupting the city’s vibrant pulse. Thanks to their wizardry, the event organizers could focus on what they do best, creating an unforgettable race experience.

On-Time. On-Point

Picture this: 500+ portable toilets and sinks, ready to serve thousands of runners and attendees. Strategically placed across the buzzing hubs of Grant Park and Millennium Park, every unit precisely positioned and fully operational, on time, every time.

Tight Streets, Zero Compromise

The behind-the-scenes mission? Hauling 17 massive truckloads straight through the tight, bustling streets of downtown Chicago. Dodging festive crowds, weaving through urban chaos, and executing every move with the precision of a grandmaster. Tough? Absolutely.

No Frosty Suprises!

The colder spring weather brings its own set of challenges, particularly the risk of restroom freeze-ups. With an understanding of event logistics and environmental factors, we adjusted our approach to expertly, maintain the functionality of each unit.
