Data regarding finisher placements and times for the annual Bellingham Bay Marathon provide a performance record for participants. This data typically includes overall place, gender place, age group place, finish time, and potentially split times at various points along the course. An example would be a record indicating a runner finished 10th overall, 5th in their age group, with a time of 3:15:00.
Access to this information offers runners valuable insights into their performance. It allows for personal progress tracking over time, comparison with other runners, and identification of areas for improvement. Historically, race results have moved from simple posted lists to sophisticated online databases offering detailed analysis and search functionality. This evolution reflects the growing importance of data analysis in athletics.
