Welcome to Marathon Ranking, a ranking of all runners who have participated in a World Major marathon* in the calendar year. Here, you can search for a runner's name.
If you haven't run a World Major and would like to see how your time would compare, and what your rank would be, you may submit a time for ranking.

Information 💡️

How to read the rankings
There are 3 rankings you'll want to pay attention to, each calculated taking into account different factors:
  • Overall Rank: This is the overall rank based only on finishing time.
  • Division Rank: This is the rank based on the age group, gender, and finishing time. For example, for Women aged 40-44.
  • Effort % Rank: This rank effectively takes an individuals best time and ranks the effort adjusting for both age and sex. This allows a comparison across age and gender. For example, a 59 year-old woman may run a 3:30:00, compared to a 39 year old man running a 2:43:00. Although the man's time is faster, adjusting for age and gender the woman's time is more impressive. The Effort Rank % in this case is 20% for the woman but 24% for the man.
  • No Tokyo Results 🈳

    Why not Tokyo? Because Tokyo makes it incredibly difficult to read the results of its participants, so until a more friendly format is provided, these results will be excluded.

    Known Issues 🚩
    Effort will be made in future updates to help mitigate the following issues.
  • Duplicate Names: Due to the limited information provided by race results, duplicate names will be merged into a single record . If someone shares your name and is faster, congratulations! You just moved up in the rankings. For now, try submitting a time and viewing runners with a similar profile to get an idea for your true ranking.
  • Age Ranges: Some races only provide an age range for an individual, in this case, when calculating statistics for an individual, each will be assumed to be at the right-bound of their age group. For example, if they are 32 they will fall into the 19-39 age agroup, and will be assumed to be 39 when making age-graded calculations.
