New York City Marathon: Complete Results Analysis
By Raymond Britt
On an extraordinary day for racing, a record 50,000 runners inspired up to one million spectators lining the course on their 26.2 mile journey to finish one of the best events in the world: The New York City Marathon.
We're proud to have finished this great marathon in the past; this year, and we've been there to witness and photograph the event. And we've crunched the numbers to provide our annual detailed results analysis.
We've also done substantial additional and complementary analysis, which featured below, with customized excerpts appearing in Competitor Magazine and Runner's World Magazine.
For overall perspective, let's start with results since 2000 --14 years of NYC Marathon average finish times -- compared to results at three other Top US marathons.
Boston, with a field made up of at least 70% who qualified to enter! clearly has the fastest field. After trailing Chicago trough 2006, NYC Marathon has been a steady second-fastest since then. Chicago's struggled alternatively with adverse weather and an increasing mix of typically slower charity runners.

How Long Does it Take to Finish Ironman Kona? It Really Depends; Average Finish Times by Age Group 2002 to 2013
How Long Does it Take to Finish Ironman Kona? There's really no easy answer; our analysis from 2002 to 2013 shows finish times can vary by a full hour. We know from personal experience, having finished Kona in 2002, 2003 and 2004.
The extremes? In 2004, the average finish time was 12 hours 6 minutes; in 2013, the average was a full hour faster at 11:06. Same course, same world class athletes, roughly the same number of athletes.
How variable can finish times be from year to year? There's no real standard pattern; we don't see faster finish times each year. So what's the main difference? Kona's a blast furnace experience like no other triathlon in the world. It can crush you, or, in some years, the winds will be somewhat merciful; but it's never easy.
We've run the numbers for All Ironman Kona World Championships since 2002, and further segmented the annual average times by Age Group for each year. Here are the results of our analysis.
