2020 Runner Survey
- In 2020 we conducted a global survey of both recreational road runners and trail runners.
- This survey was the primary source of our data for two major publications.
- We plan to run similar surveys in the future, adding to our data sources.
Our survey was conducted in 2020, gathering over two thousand responses from runners of varying demographics and experience. This survey was comprised of two separate surveys, one for recreational road runners, and the other for recreational trail runners.
Some of the questions included: Demographics (age, gender), Experience (years running, days and distance per week), Preferences (sidewalk, trail or road, running with others, etc.), Prefered Features (greenspaces, water fountains, accessibility, etc.), and Safety Concerns (traffic proximity, falls, etc.). The survey also included some open questions for personal responses.
The survey has become one of our current data sources for further study and some of our past publications. We plan to run future surveys as well, which can be found here.
