Men Cross America Faster than Women - the ‘Race Across America’ (RAAM) from 1982 to 2012. Again and again it is discussed that women could be better on the very long ultrasides than the men.We have all the results of the ‘Race Across America’, the longest non-stop race of the world examined. From 1982-2012, 404 men and 48 women managed the race.If one compares the highest speed for men from 24.77 km / h with the 21.27 km / h for the fastest woman, this results in a difference of 14.2%.If one compares the speed of the fastest per year over the years, there is a difference of around 20%. And when the three fastest women are compared with the three fastest men per year, the difference rises to almost 25%.

It shows that the women in the last 30 years at Raam were always slower than the men. The whole evaluation can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23434612/
