Data from the annual eight-mile footrace in Balboa Park, typically encompassing finishing times, participant rankings, and potentially age group breakdowns, provide a valuable record of athletic achievement. This information may include details such as overall winners, top finishers in various categories, and comparisons to previous years’ performances. An example would be a table listing each runner’s bib number, name, finishing time, and overall placement.
Access to this competitive data offers runners a way to track personal progress, compare their performance against others, and set future training goals. It also serves as a historical archive of the event, documenting the evolution of competitive running within the local community and potentially showcasing emerging athletic talent. Furthermore, these outcomes can be useful for race organizers in assessing event success, identifying areas for improvement, and celebrating the accomplishments of participants.
