This repository has two parts:
- all of the data on Boston Marathon finishers available from 2001-2014
- Visualizations of that data
- by @tmcw
- by me
- An interactive map of the states and provinces of the runners
- An interactive map of the countries of origin of the runenrs
- A violin plot of finish times 2001-2014:
- A histogram of finishers, by gender and age:
Look in the results directory for the data. Do something interesting with it, and make sure you tell me about it!
There are (unfortunately) two different data formats. 2013 and 2014 have more detailed timing data, with splits at 10k, 20k, 25k, half, 30k, 35k, and 40k.
Pre-2013, the data has only the finishing time, but adds the person's standing in their division, gender, and overall.
- The data includes wheelchair racers but not hand cyclists or other special groups... if you're interested in that data please submit a pull request!
- The data does not include runners who did not finish. There's nothing I can do about that, as far as I can tell that data is unavailable from baa.org
- The data is certainly missing a few people, but it ought to contain the large majority of runners who finished from each year.
- The code is ugly. This is just about grinding the results out!
MIT License. Use it as you want to, don't feel obligated to give me credit. It's the BAA's data anyway. (Thanks for organizing, BAA)
I... already did that for you. Why do you want to do that?
Anyway, if you do, you'll want to run python multidl.py {year}
- Install the prerequisites:
pip install < requirements.txt - Start the notebook:
make notebook - Play!
