Grandma's Marathon Statistics

I've put together the stats for last Saturday's Grandma's Marathon. The overall average chip time that I calculated was 4:19:05. The 4:22:28 time that I mentioned in my previous post was from a news article. I suppose this could be gun time.

Out of the 6885 finishers, 63% were males. The 20s trend continues. The largest age group for women are the 20s. There're even more women finishers in their 20s than men (53%).

The fastest city was St Louis Park Minnesota. It had 104 runners with an average time of 4:11:55. The fastest state was Nebraska which had 53 runners with an average time of 4:05:40. Finally, Kenya easily won as the fastest country. It's 11 runners averaged 2:22:41. As I mentioned in the last post, the first and second place men were from Kenya and the 10 of the top 20 men were from Kenya.

Below are the detailed stats. These are based on the 6/18/2005 results from onlineraceresults.com.
