Data from this annual Thanksgiving Day race in Boston, Massachusetts, typically includes overall finishing times, placements within age groups, and sometimes team results. This information is often published online and may be searchable by individual name or bib number, offering participants a record of their performance and allowing spectators to track the progress of runners they know. An example would be a listing showing a participant’s finishing time, overall placement, and placement within their registered age and gender group.
Access to this data provides runners with a quantifiable measure of their achievement and progress, particularly valuable for those training for longer distances or aiming to improve their personal best. The compiled information can also be a valuable resource for race organizers, helping them understand participation trends and refine future events. Historically, the publication of race results has evolved from printed lists posted at the finish line to sophisticated online databases offering detailed statistics and even interactive maps.
