    I mean factor 2 is a bit much but if you want everyone to finish roughly in the same time frame distribution, you either have to do a shorter route or have the women start earlier.

      Why would you want everyone to finish roughly at the same time though? I’m sure there would be plenty of woman who could finish 5km much faster than some men would finish 10km.

          Math is apparently still hard. I even specifically wrote “distribution” but i guess that was not enough.

        Usually for these races they will set a cut off time and also block off traffic for that time frame only. Personally i am with you and would find it cool if they did the same race and see a few very athletic women overtaking most of the average performing men.
