AT&T Austin Marathon Numbers
If the database is there, it is my job to crunch some numbers!
The AT&T Austin Marathon has a link on the main page of their web site for runners to look up their bib number so that they will know it when they go to Packet Pickup on Friday and Saturday.
Put in the first letter of the last name 26 different times and you can quickly get a count of registrants in the database.
The totals? 5,092 for the full marathon. 5,834 for the half marathon.
Do these numbers mean to say that they aren't sold out for the half? If you want to embarrass yourself tomorrow and ask, go right ahead! They said they're sold out. Good enough for me. It isn't my job to figure out where the 166 other runners are!
And as I pointed out on the Chronicle RunHouston blog today, it is evident that Austin's decision to limit itself to 6,000 runners for each event -- since it is the number of medals that they ordered -- will probably allow the Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Houston Half Marathon remain the largest in Texas another marathon season.
Overall Finishers, Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Half Marathon
2007 -- 12,157 (43.6% men, 56.4% women)
Finishers, Chevron Houston Marathon
2007 -- 5,303 (62.1% men, 37.9% women)
Finishers, Aramco Houston Half Marathon
2007 -- 6,854 (58.0% women, 42.0% men)
And it looks as if the folks with Run On! in Dallas (Racing Systems, Inc.) have got the timing gig this year after Run Far's snafu at last year's event. (Although, I saw Run Wild's trailer just passed the half way point last year.) But Run Far picked up the Cowtown Marathon after there were issues in the rainstorm with the former timing system that was being used.
More later ... I have some more cutting-and-pasting to do!
