2023 Brisbane Marathon — Scaled Results

Use this page to work out how you would’ve done in this marathon at different life stages by entering your age category, time, and gender into the form below and clicking the “Get Results” button. The table will then show you the time you could have achieved at a similar fitness level in different age and gender categories.

For example, if you are a woman in the 55–59 age category and you ran 04:00:00, you can estimate how you would've finished in your 30s!

Have fun and don't take the results too seriously!

Notes:

Missing categories:

You may notice that some categories are missing. That occurs when there's simply not enough data in those categories to generate even vaguely meaningful results — sorry!

Median time:

The median time is the time that any runner in the category was most likely to finish. It is a better statistic than the average (or mean) because it is less impacted by outliers in the data. The overall median time was 04:30:07, the overall median time for women was 04:49:02, and for men it was 04:23:21.

Scaled time:

The “scaled time” value is calculated by fitting the data for each category to a lognormal distribution curve. The system determines where the time fits on the curve for the category and gender you specify at the top of the page and then calculates the corresponding time on the curve calculated for each of the other categories.
