Medal Allocations at the Comrades Marathon

Medal allocations in the 2013 Comrades Marathon, with counts for each medal type broken down by gender and age.

Following up on my previous post regarding attrition rates at Comrades Marathon 2013, here are the statistics I have gathered for medal allocations. For reference, the 2013 medals were allocated as follows:

• Gold medals to the first ten finishers in the men’s race and the ladies’ race;
• Wally Hayward medals to finishers in under 06:00;
• Silver medals to finishers under 07:30;
• Bill Rowan medals to finishers under 09:00;
• Bronze medals to finishers under 11:00; and finally
• Vic Clapham medals to finishers before the final gun at 12:00.

Number of medals won in the 2013 Comrades Marathon broken down by age group and gender.

This will be followed in a couple of days by an analysis of the relationship between running a negative split and finishing time.
