this is not crucial to your article findings but its wrong information
in the first paragraph of the introducrion you are reffering to a study of running races stating 107.9 million people ran in 70.000 running events in 2019.
If you check the article you are reffering to again it is stated those millions of runners ran on 70.000 running evenrt BETWEN 1986 and 2019
