The 10K ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run in Houston

Here are some stats that I've pulled together from the 10K ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run at Houston last Saturday (2/26/05). The stats are based on data from doitsports.com. More info is available at the race's main website.

The winning times include 31:30 for the men and 34:02 for the women.

The weather wasn't the best for running. At the start of the race around 9:50am the temperature was 51 deg F with a 9mph average north wind and light rain.

I've listed the stats below. One new thing I did was to break out the average times by city. To keep the table from getting too big, I only list cities with 10 or more race participants. The city with the fastest average time was Austin with 47:16. Besides Houston, the city with the most runners was Katy Texas with 152. Katy is a small town about 20mi west of Houston on I-10.

The total number of 10K runners were 2941. 62% of the Runners were male and 38% were women. As I noted in the Austin half marathon, women in their twenties are outnumbering the men. In this age group, there were 303 women but only 273 men.

  • I find it interesting that the thirties group seems to be, on average, a bit quicker than the twenties group. I wonder why?

  • Yes, that is interesting. I would guess that the thirty year olds have probably done more marathons. It would be interesting to see how the repeat marathoners compare by age.

    Thanks for the comments!
