2002 AIMS ROAD RACE LISTS (statistics)
The lists presented below provide a glimpse into the world of global road-racing activity. The lists focus primarily on the
half-marathon and marathon, as those represent the primary event membership within AIMS. However, the 10 km road distance is
also popular. The lists were prepared based upon available results, and will be updated quarterly or monthly. Amendments,
corrections, and additions are always welcome; there is no such thing as a "perfect" or "complete" list, as accumulation of
new information continually provides new perspective. Please send information to
