My running club is looking to purchase one of those shelter canopy type things (like teams take to track or cross country meets) for our race registration, refreshments, results, that sort of stuff. Can someone suggest a good resource for that?

$89 walmart
If you go the $89 WalMart route take into account they'll be in the dumpster by the end of the season.
After a few years of having them getting torn up we got some that the high school team's use from Venue Sports. They're heavy duty, go up and down easier than Monica Lewinsky, and you can order replacement parts from the original manufacturer if you beak a cross beam by leaving them up overnight and having a storm blow them into a tennis court. Not that I even had that happen.
You can also get cases for them that have rollers so they're easier to pack and carry. I can't remember pricing off the top of my head, but you can check online.
I agree. Don't get the $100 Walmart brand. Get one from a supplier like

and you will not be disappointed.
Most sporting goods stores carry them, and if you keep an eye on the sales, you can get a great deal on one. Just remember to bring a crew with you to carry it and set it up...we had a dolly for ours. It is easy to use and a real asset at a meet.
I would definitely not recommend going the Wal-Mat or Costco route. EZ-Up has the best product, IMHO, and you can also get custom colors and lettering if you want. Most T&F catalogs (MF, Venue, DIck Pond, etc.) have EZ-Up products. They also have their own web site.
