Data from the annual Thanksgiving Day race held in Cincinnati, Ohio, typically includes finisher placements by division (age group, gender), overall finishing times, and potentially additional metrics like pace. This information is often published online and may be searchable by individual participant names or bib numbers. A concrete example would be a listing showing the top three finishers in the men’s 25-29 age group, along with their respective times.
Access to this data offers several advantages. Runners can track their performance progress year over year, compare themselves to others in their division, and identify areas for improvement. The results also serve as a public record of the event, documenting the achievements of participants and contributing to the historical record of the race. For race organizers, the data is invaluable for logistical planning, identifying trends in participation, and recognizing top performers. The historical context of these records, accumulated over the years, paints a picture of the race’s evolution and the changing demographics of its participants.
