Data from the annual 13.1-mile footrace held in Pittsburgh provides runners with performance metrics, including finishing times, age group rankings, and overall placement. This information often includes split times at various points along the course, allowing for analysis of pacing strategies. An example might be a runner reviewing their pace at mile 6 to understand a performance dip later in the race.
Access to this data offers significant value for participants. Runners can track their progress over time, identify areas for improvement, and compare their performance against others in their age group or overall. Furthermore, the historical record of race data allows for analysis of trends in participation and performance within the Pittsburgh running community. This contributes to a deeper understanding of the event’s evolution and impact.
