BQ races

Methodology

Percentiles are shown as bands, not single-point rankings, because the reference datasets use slightly different female marathon distributions.

PR benchmark used

The headline bands use the current marathon PR of 3:09:26 from Last Chance BQ.2 Chicagoland. The age-group view compares that same result against women 25-29, which is a faster subset than all women overall.

Average across races

The average is calculated across 5 completed marathons, which comes out to 3:26:21. That average maps to roughly the top 6% band across aggregate female marathon finish-time tables.

BQ races

BQ races counts marathon finishes under the relevant Boston qualifying standard for this profile. Current count: 3 of 5 completed marathons.
