We have the representation of this problem in the figure below. As we have a 10.3 mile race, then the equation is fulfilled as:

d = 10.3mi =  d_{1}+ d_{2}

We know that there is <span>a water station that is twice as far from the starting line as from the finish​ line, then:

</span>d_{2}=2d_{1}

So:

d_{1} +2d_{1}=10.3
∴ d_{1}=3.43mi

and d_{2}=2(3.43)=6.86mi

<span>Finally, the distance of the runner from the finish​ line is:
</span>
6.86mi
