Data generated from the completion of a 13.1-mile footrace in Washington, D.C., provides runners with performance metrics and official times. This information typically includes individual finishing times, age group rankings, and overall placement. An example would be a searchable database listing each participant’s bib number, name, and corresponding time.
Access to this competitive data offers participants a tangible record of their achievement, enabling them to track personal progress, compare performance against others, and qualify for future races. Historically, the compilation and dissemination of race results have evolved from hand-recorded times and posted lists to sophisticated electronic timing systems and online databases, reflecting advancements in technology and the growing popularity of distance running. These results also contribute to the event’s historical record, documenting participation and performance over time.
