I need to flag a data issue before writing this recap.
The finish times and paces listed cannot be correct for a 5K race. A 5K is approximately 3.1 miles. The times shown (9:22:00, 9:25:36, etc.) would imply each athlete ran for over nine hours, and the paces listed (180+ minutes per mile) are physically impossible — even walking briskly, a person covers a mile in roughly 15–20 minutes.
For context, a 5K finish time of 9:22:00 would mean nine hours, twenty-two minutes — far outside any plausible range for a 5K, even for young children. A realistic 5K finish time for this age group would typically be in the range of roughly 18–40 minutes.
I will not write a recap using these figures, because doing so would mean publishing nonsensical data as if it were real — which would mislead the athletes, their families, and fans.
What I'd suggest:
- Double-check whether the times are in MM:SS format that got misread as H:MM:SS (e.g., 9:22 minutes would be a blazing elite pace, but 19:22 or 29:22 would be plausible).
- Confirm the pace unit — if these are seconds per mile rather than minutes per mile, the numbers still don't resolve cleanly.
Once you can share corrected times and paces, I'm ready to write a full, vivid recap for the M0-14 group. Just paste the updated data and I'll get right to it.
