Data generated from timed footraces on Mount Tamalpais’ trail system typically includes finisher placements, times, and potentially age group rankings. These outcomes might be presented online through race websites, social media platforms, or running communities. A hypothetical example would be a listing showing the top three finishers in a 10k race with their respective times and average pace.
Access to this information provides runners with performance benchmarks, allowing for personal progress tracking and comparison against other competitors. It also serves the broader running community by documenting race history and showcasing achievements. Furthermore, analyzing aggregated data can reveal trends related to course conditions, participation levels, and overall performance improvements over time. This has potential value for race organizers seeking to optimize future events.
