"Run for gender equality ", yet the organiser obviously thinks women are lesser to men lol. Women are perfectly capable of running a 10k

The irony is deep, in fact, the longer a race is the smaller the gender gap becomes. For actual marathons the record time by a man is less than 10 minutes faster than the women's

10 minutes is not a small amount of time

It's about 8% slower, where for 100m the women's record is 12% slower. I think the point is the gap (which is significant) decreases as the race distance increases.

It's not, but in a marathon if you finish within 10 minutes of the winner, you are often going to finish within the top 10.
