RunViz - Chicago Marathon Analytics

Crossing the 26.2 miles at the finish line amid the cheering crowd and loud music in addition to the adrenaline rush through the body brings excitement and a great joy to every Marathon Runner. It is a great accomplishment to cherish. 

Anytime of the day when you go out into the streets, there is a greater chance that you will spot a runner. Running as a sport, became popular when U.S. won the first Olympic gold medal in 1972 marathon. More and more people are taking up running and are participating in different races including; 5K, 10K, Half marathon, and Full marathons. 
Analyzing the runner's data from Chicago Marathon and using Tableau Software, I was able to answer the following questions:
  •       Who is running and who is winning?
  •       Countries participation and winners?
  •       Ideal temperature for runners?

 Enjoy RunViz! and thanks for your voting!

    Data by itself is nothing without appropriate analysis like what you have here. This is neat and to the point. Great job, KK.
