Why would you want everyone to finish roughly at the same time though? I'm sure there would be plenty of woman who could finish 5km much faster than some men would finish 10km.
Sure, but the average distribution is going to have most men running faster than most women.
Math is apparently still hard. I even specifically wrote "distribution" but i guess that was not enough.
Usually for these races they will set a cut off time and also block off traffic for that time frame only. Personally i am with you and would find it cool if they did the same race and see a few very athletic women overtaking most of the average performing men.
