# La Candelaria by the numbers

**Among all 4234 athletes who officially crossed the finish line yesterday at the Clásica Candelaria, the average time was 59:05 minutes. If your time is below that, you're in the faster half of the field. Only María Gabriela Alvarado, Yorhany Ramírez, and Ingrid Hess can brag that they finished right in the middle of the field, since their time of 58:50 is the exact median among all participants.**
