Public files contain aggregates, not runner records.
The build script reads the private CSVs locally, computes the statistics below, removes identifying fields and validates the generated JSON before deployment.

The shape of the race
Participation tells only part of the story. Start waves reveal when Berlin filled up; the finish distribution shows when the field arrived back at the Brandenburg Gate.
When finishers arrived
Finish times grouped into 15-minute windows.
The start rolling through Berlin
Chip start times grouped into 30-minute windows.
Where the marathon really changed
For years with split timing, anonymous aggregates let us compare segment pace, first and second halves, and how much runners slowed from 30–40K relative to 10–20K.
Split-level data was not included for this year in the uploaded project, so pacing and “wall” analysis is unavailable.
Median pace by segment
A lower pace is faster. The line exposes where the field began to lose speed.
The late-race test

median pace slowdown from 30–40K compared with 10–20K.

How hard runners hit the wall
Distribution of late-race slowdown versus the same runner’s 10–20K pace.
First half vs second half
“Even” means the halves were within ±2%. This avoids calling tiny differences meaningful.
Late slowdown by finish-time group
The same metric, grouped by finishing band, shows how pacing changes across the field.

Conditions runners experienced
Weather is shown as race context, not as proof of causation. It helps explain the environment in which pacing patterns occurred.
Weather data is not available for this year in the uploaded project.
Race-day temperature
Observed and “feels like” temperature through the race window.
Boston qualification context
A hypothetical comparison with the existing 2026 standard table used by the original dashboard. It does not account for registration buffers or guarantee qualification.
