Data generated from a 13.1-mile footrace held in Newport provides runners with performance feedback and allows for comparison against other participants. This data typically includes finishing times, overall placement, and potentially age group rankings. An example would be a listing showing participant “A” finishing in 1 hour and 30 minutes, placing 50th overall.
Access to this competitive information offers runners valuable insights into their training effectiveness and progress over time. It can motivate continued improvement, inform future race strategies, and contribute to a sense of accomplishment. Historically, race results were primarily displayed on physical notice boards near the finish line. The advent of online databases and mobile applications has revolutionized access and analysis of this data, enabling wider participation and engagement within the running community.
