water station

Runner's drink point

A water station is a designated point along a race course or trail where participants can get water or other drinks.

Marathons, cycling events, and long hikes typically have water stations at regular intervals.

The term also applies to hydration setups at gyms, offices, or outdoor events: There's a water station near the finish line.
