A Sydney marathon organizer needed branded start and finish arches that could withstand coastal weather, be visible on broadcast cameras, and be reused across multiple race events.
The organizer required vibrant LED lighting for early-morning starts, removable logo options for different sponsors, and a setup time under 15 minutes per arch.
HAFE delivered the Aero Series 5m Inflatable Arch with LED lights, DMX control, and removable logo stickers.

The race director said the arches were “unmissable on camera” and that sponsor changes between events took minutes, not hours.
Compared with rigid truss arches, the inflatables packed into carry bags and required no tools. Unlike printed banners, they delivered three-dimensional presence and integrated lighting.
HAFE supplies portable, fully brandable inflatable arches with LED options for sports event organizers across Australia and beyond.
