Running USA In The News
The following news outlets have cited Running USA:
 
Elite runners typically cross the finish line in less than 2.5 hours; however, according to Running USA's State of the Sport report, the median finish time for a marathon is closer to 4.5 hours. 
 
Since 2003, the half marathon has been the fastest-growing race distance in the United States, especially among women, according to a 2014 report from Running USA. In 2013, nearly two million people finished a half marathon in the U.S.  

To me, running for a full hour feels like a major accomplishment. After all, I'm usually on the verge of collapse when I'm done. But here's the thing: According to Running USA, the average marathon time for U.S. men is 4:16 and 4:41 for women.
