Runner Lineup Analysis

Out of the 2,966 applicants for the premier sections, approximately 9.2% were female runners. This analysis explores how that distribution is reflected in the final, verified lineup sections.

• Overall Ratio: The marathon has a strong male participation, with roughly 10 male runners for every 1 female runner in these specific lineup requests.
• Elite Section: Female runners make up about 9.4% of the Elite section (13 out of 139), which is very close to their overall representation in the applicant pool.
• Section A: This section sees a slightly lower female representation at about 6.0% (50 out of 828). This is the lowest percentage among the verified groups.
• Section B: Female runners are most represented here, comprising about 10.6% of the group (188 out of 1771), slightly higher than their overall average.
• Section C (Moved): Runners who were moved to Section C due to verification issues included about 10.1% females (23 out of 228), which aligns with the general distribution.

Conclusion: The gender distribution across the final lineup sections is largely proportional to the initial applicant pool, with a minor dip in female representation in Section A and a slight increase in Section B.
