Data from the annual race along Lake Ontario provides runners, coaches, and enthusiasts with performance metrics. These metrics typically include finishing times, overall placement, age group rankings, and split times at various points along the course. A concrete example would be a specific runner’s time of 2:45:00, placing them 50th overall and 3rd in their age group.
Access to this information offers several key benefits. Runners can track their progress over time, identify areas for improvement, and compare their performance against others. Coaches can use the data to develop personalized training plans and monitor athlete development. Furthermore, race results contribute to the historical record of the event, documenting individual achievements and the evolution of competitive standards. The historical data allows for analysis of trends in participation and performance.
