Data regarding the finishing times and placements of participants in the annual Indianapolis 500 Festival Mini-Marathon, a popular 13.1-mile road race held in conjunction with the Indianapolis 500, are typically published following the event’s conclusion. These data sets often include overall rankings, age group rankings, and sometimes split times at various points along the course. An example would be a table listing each runner’s bib number, name, finishing time, and overall place.
Access to this information provides runners with a record of their performance, allowing for personal analysis and comparison against previous years or other runners. The data can also be valuable for coaches, researchers studying athletic performance, and event organizers for logistical planning and future improvements. Historically, these results have been vital in tracking the progress of elite runners and celebrating achievements within the running community. The race itself has become a significant tradition, attracting both serious competitors and recreational runners alike.
