Stakeholder & Survey Insights Strategic Insight: The primary barriers are comfort (weight of gear) and performance (speed of refilling). Future refill stations must be marketed as “high-speed” and designed for rapid throughput to address these concerns.
Q31: If you don’t want to carry your own water during a race, why is this? (Select all that apply)
