This site was dreamed up by a couple of runners turned race timers who among other things wanted to create tools to help us improve our ability to deliver accurate and timely results. We also recognized there are certain pieces of information that race day staff are asking us to provide. How many people started? How many are still left out on course? What is the status of the Age Group Awards? We have added functionality that allows our users access to this information and more in real-time.
We are runners first and part of our hope for this site is to provide our athletes another way to access and compare their results over time. We started this project by adding results to our database from events we have timed in 2023 and are now working our way backwards adding historical data. We've uploaded nearly 200 races that we've timed from just the last 2.5 years! The majority of the events we time are in Northeast Ohio, but we are always looking for new events to add to our portfolio.
Public results can be found within the results dropdown menu. It is made up of two main pages (Results and Statistics) and provides athletes with the ability to search past results that have been uploaded to our site. The Results page allows you to search by first and last name and then to filter the results by the race's name. This can be a neat way to compare results from previous years. If you happen to compete in the Full Moon Trail Series, then filtering by "Full" will display all of your results in chronological order! Another fun filter can be "Cleveland Marathon", which includes finisher results for the past 3 years for all 4 event distances. The Statistics page provides metrics such as your average chip time and average pace. The columns are sortable and you can also search by last name to quickly locate a specific person's stats. Setting a min and/or max distance will return calculations based only on races whose distance falls within the specified range. In other words, setting the min and max distance to 3.1 will only take into account 5K races.
