Data from a ten-kilometer running competition held near a state legislative building provides a record of participant performance. This data typically includes finishing times, placement within specific categories (such as age group or gender), and potentially other information like pace and qualifying status for larger events. An example would be a publicly accessible online database or spreadsheet showing outcomes from a specific annual race held in a city’s governmental district.
Access to this information offers value to various stakeholders. Runners can track their progress, compare their performance against others, and identify areas for improvement. Race organizers use the data to manage the event efficiently, analyze participation trends, and plan future races. Spectators and the wider community gain insight into the athletic achievements of participants, fostering local pride and potentially inspiring greater community involvement in health and fitness initiatives. Historical records of these competitions can also provide a valuable longitudinal perspective on athletic performance trends.
