Participation and finishing statistics
MarathonView's Checkpoint Spot-sourced leaderboard records 1,681 full-marathon finishers: 1,479 men and 202 women. It reports an overall median finishing time of 5:52:35 and 12 sub-three-hour marathon finishers (approximately 0.71%). These counts relate specifically to the full marathon and should not be confused with the 33,000 participants reported across the broader running festival.
Race-day programme
PMINT's retrospective lists the 10K start at 10:00 pm, the 42K start at 12:30 am, and the 21K start at 2:15 am. The marathon and half marathon therefore featured overnight or early-morning running. The two-day festival also offered shorter family and community distances.
