It’s a fascinating, informative snapshot of athletic activity.
annual “Year in Sport” report is out—and we wanted to put the running-related data on display for your viewing pleasure.
While it’s important to note that these statistics reflect the trends of runners who logged their activity on Strava between October 1, 2018, through September of 2019, andthe running population in its entirety, there’s no denying that it’s a fascinating, informative snapshot of athletic activity—and a reflection of the dedicated training that was put in by users of the social fitness network worldwide.
On a global level, a grand total of 1.3 billion miles were logged, and 248.3 million of those miles were recorded in the U.S. The average distance per run for Americans was about four miles at a duration of 37:34.Participation in Marathons and Ultras, it’s exciting to see the 8.8 percent increase in the number of U.S. runners completing a marathon or ultra distance. Even more notable is the massive growth of this activity in Japan with its 23.2 percent boost year-over-year.
As an interesting aside, Strava statistics show that 51 percent of ultrarunners have never uploaded a marathon on the site. Whether this indicates that these athletes go right into the ultras or simply didn’t bother logging races less than 50K is uncertain.
