Data generated from a 13.1-mile footrace held in Berkeley, California, typically includes finishing times for each participant, often categorized by age group and gender. This data may also include overall placement, split times for various points along the course, and in some cases, qualifying information for other races. An example would be a searchable database listing each runner’s bib number, name, and finishing time.
Access to this information offers runners a way to track their performance progress, compare their results with others, and celebrate their achievements. Race organizers use the data for official record-keeping, identifying top finishers, and planning future events. The historical context of these records provides valuable insights into the evolution of running performance over time and can reflect trends in participation within the sport.
