• year the occasion on which the runner ran the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler

• age the runners age at the time of that occasion

• gun the time (in minutes) from the gun to crossing the finish line.

• net time between crossing the start line and crossing the finish line. Sometimes this is missing. It's typically smaller than gun because it takes time to reach the starting line.

• sex as recorded by the race organizers.

• previous How many previous occasions did this person run the race.

• nruns The total number of runs recorded for this person (including future runs)

• start_position A qualitative indication of how close to the front of the pack the person was positioned at the time the gun went off.
