Analyzing SCMS 11 results
Follow Up from my analysis for SCMS 2010, this is my analysis of the statistics of the Singapore running community. The data are extracted from the official SCMS website.
15,343 people took part in the event, and within a total of 10,964 Singaporean completed the marathon. Of which 9,438 (86%) of the runners were male while 1,526 (14%) were female.
Unfortunately, 507 runners did not finish the race or were disqualified but it was inconclusive whether these numbers belongs to local runners or a combination of local + overseas runners.
The average timing for both males and female to complete the marathon remains unchanged.
For Male - in the range of 6:00 to 6:30hr.
For Female - in the range of 6:30 to 7:00hr.
This can also be translated to the followings
less than 1,527 (14%) Singaporean would be able to complete the run below 5 hr
less than 4,504 (41%) Singaporean could complete the run below 6 hr
if SCMS would to implement a time cutoff for the race (ie to say 6hr), they will lose a hefty amount of revenue (i.e. 50%).
