In byuidatascience/data4marathons: What the Package Does (One Line, Title Case)

Description

Each marathon will have 100 runners (50 male, 50 female) per year. So any marathon with less than 50 runners in the group will have multiple resampled runners. This data set has over 500k runners. The original data had close to 10 million runners and a few more columns.
