Older and younger will stand together tomorrow on the starting line, in cold weather and rain, to run together in the Jerusalem Marathon – here are some interesting data on the age of runners that arise from the segmentation of registrants for the 2022 marathon<\/p>\n
The data is based on a sample of 9,900 participants out of about 14,000 runners who registered for the 2022 marathon. Note that these are registrants and not actual participants – we hope that the cold weather will not deter the runners and we feel great respect for those who will show up for the run despite the stormy weather.<\/p>\n
The sample shows that the largest group is middle-aged boys and girls (aged 15-19), who constitute 16% of the runners in the competitive tracks<\/strong> to 5, 10, 21.1, and 42.2 km. Most of them (54%) chose to run the 10 km track.<\/p>\n The 10 km track is the most popular<\/strong>, but who are the runners who are drawn to the longer tracks? It turns out that while the 5 and 10 km tracks attract mainly young people, the long tracks attract adults<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The most common age group in the 21.1 and 42.2 km tracks was 45-49, while in the half marathon the distribution was slightly larger – 40-54-year-olds made up 43% of the runners in these tracks, compared to 51% of the full marathon runners. Among marathon runners, there are about 11% over the age of 60 (most of them, between the ages of 60-64), and 1.4% under the age of 20.<\/p>\n We wish success to all runners in all age groups!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Older and younger will stand together tomorrow on the starting line, in cold weather and rain, to run together in the Jerusalem Marathon – here are some interesting data on the age of runners that arise from the segmentation of registrants for the 2022 marathon The data is based on a sample of 9,900 participants…<\/p>\n
