WOMEN'S 5K

I need to flag a data issue before writing this recap.

The finish times and paces shown are not internally consistent with a 5K race. A 5K typically takes most runners somewhere between roughly 18 minutes and an hour. The times listed here — all clustered around 8 hours 41–48 minutes — and the corresponding average paces of roughly 167–170 minutes per mile do not reflect a 5K (or any standard running distance). A pace of 167+ minutes per mile would mean each mile takes nearly three hours, which is not physically coherent for a footrace.

This appears to be a data formatting or export error — possibly a timing system artifact, a unit mismatch, or a file corruption issue.

I'm not able to write an accurate, credible recap using these numbers, because doing so would require me to either:

  • Present obviously incorrect times as real race results, or
  • Invent or substitute correct-looking data, which my guidelines prohibit.

What I'd suggest checking:

  • Were the times exported correctly from the timing system? (e.g., a seconds field misread as an hours field)
  • Is the total field actually elapsed time in a different format (e.g., centiseconds)?
  • Could the "total" column be a cumulative event clock rather than individual finish times?

If you can share corrected timing data, I'd be glad to write the full recap right away.
