What is the difference between net time and clock time in a marathon?

Your gun/clock time is the time on the official race clock from the moment the race started (when the gun went off) to when you crossed over the finish line. Your net/chip time is the time from when you personally cross the starting line to when you cross the finish.

Is 4 hours 20 minutes a good marathon time?

Across the board, most people finish a marathon in 4 to 5 hours, with an average mile time of 9 to 11.5 minutes. A finishing time that’s under 4 hours is a real accomplishment for everyone other than elite runners, who can finish in around 2 hours.

What is net time?

Net time is the time it took you to run the race (cross start and finish lines). So, a later corral can show a Clock time much longer than a person’s Net.

How do I calculate my marathon finish time?

Here’s how it works. Run one mile as fast as you can, middle-school style (don’t barf or die, though). Then to predict your marathon time, take your mile time (in seconds) and multiply by 1.3. The result is your marathon pace per mile, in seconds.

How are marathon runners tracked?

By affixing RFID labels to the bib of each runner and strategically placing timing mats (RFID readers) throughout the course, it’s possible to track the progress and finishing time of each runner. In fact, this is how many races throughout the world are timed today — using RFID labels and barcode technology.

What is an elite marathon time?

What should my 10k time be?
