Data from the annual footrace in Sonoma County, California, typically includes finishing times for all participants, categorized by age group and gender. This information may also include details such as overall placement, split times at various points along the course, and whether a participant qualified for larger events like the Boston Marathon. An example would be a table listing each runner’s bib number, name, age, gender, and official finishing time.
Access to this competitive data offers runners a way to track their performance progress over time, compare themselves to others in their cohort, and identify areas for improvement in their training. The compiled information also serves as a historical record of the event, documenting the achievements of participants and the evolution of competitive times over the years. This documentation contributes to the overall narrative of the marathon and its community.
