The outcome of the annual Burning River 100 Endurance Run and Relay provides valuable data for runners, race organizers, and the broader ultrarunning community. This data typically includes finishing times for all participants, categorized by gender, age group, and relay team (if applicable). It may also encompass course records, split times at various aid stations, and DNF (Did Not Finish) statistics. A hypothetical example would be a list showing the overall winner’s time, the average finishing time for women in the 40-49 age group, and the number of runners who completed the full 100-mile course.
This information serves several crucial purposes. For individual runners, it offers a performance benchmark and allows them to track their progress over time. Race organizers utilize the data to refine logistics, course design, and support strategies for future events. The compiled results contribute to the historical record of the race, documenting achievements and trends within the sport of ultrarunning. Furthermore, the data can be valuable for researchers studying human performance, endurance training, and the physiological impacts of ultra-distance running. The Burning River 100, established in 2004 to commemorate the Cuyahoga River fire, holds a significant place in the ultrarunning world, and its race results contribute to the ongoing narrative of this challenging and inspiring event.
