Data from races organized by or for members of the Coast Guard, typically covering a distance of 5 kilometers, are often compiled and published. These compilations may include finishing times, age group rankings, and overall placement information for participants. For example, a specific event might list each runner’s time and position within their age group and gender.
Access to this data offers several advantages. Performance tracking allows individuals to monitor their progress and set personal goals. Published data also fosters a sense of community and friendly competition within the Coast Guard. Furthermore, some races serve as fundraisers or awareness campaigns for important causes, and public results can highlight the organization’s engagement with such initiatives. Historically, sharing race data has been a way to celebrate athletic achievement and build camaraderie. The evolution from paper postings to online databases has made accessing and analyzing these results significantly more convenient.
