2005 Little Rock Marathon

Some interesting news about the 2005 Little Rock Arkansas Marathon was the story of Arkansas Governor Huckabee. He has lost 110lbs and finished Sunday's marathon with a time of 4:38:58. The 49 year old governor was 1 of 233 male runners in their 40's. The average finish time for this group was 4:12:23.

Little Rock Marathon Stats

There was a total of 934 marathon runners who finished, and their mean chiptime was 4:36:44. Men accounted for 68% of the runners. 20 men and 2 women were "sub 3" runners who finished under 3 hours.

Below are the details stats. They were derived from data posted at the Little Rock Marathon 2005 results page.

I'll look into posting the half marathon stats later. Let me know in the comments if there are any other stats you would like to see.
