Key industry research effort accepting responses now through May 27

(April 28, 2022) – Running USA, the non-profit trade organization for the sport of running, has relaunched its popular runner sentiment survey for 2022. Running events and businesses serving the endurance space are encouraged to share the survey for the widest possible response.

The 2022 survey edition will gauge how runners are returning to the sport as the pandemic wanes and includes new questions about event cost, spending on the sport, charity fundraising as well as recurring inquiries about participation, competing interests, brand preferences and more.

“We are excited to take the pulse of the running community as our sport gets back to full speed,” said Dawna Stone, CEO of Running USA. “We know these results are invaluable to events and running-focused vendors and continue to make research a priority of Running USA.”

The Global Runner Survey is open for responses now through Friday, May 27 and can be completed in less than 10 minutes. Participants who share their contact info at the close of the survey will be entered into a drawing for one of five $50 gift cards.* 

The survey can be found here:

Global Runner Survey results will be released in mid-summer 2022.
