Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Ruth Schneider #40008 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Consistent Finish with a Strong Second Half Ruth Schneider maintained a commendable pace through the 12K Centipede race, clocking an overall time of 1:37:11 with an average pace of 13:02 minutes per mile. Her splits show a solid start with consistent pacing over the first two miles, both covered at 12:05 per mile. A notable challenge was the stretch between miles 2 and 3, where the pace dropped to 17:51, attributed to the Hayes Hill climb. This section caused a temporary fall in her standings. Ruth's performance improved notably after the hill, recovering to split times of 12:06, 10:44, and 10:38, which helped her regain ground in her race positions. She finished 532nd overall and 261st among women out of 1839 participants. Her strategy of steady pacing post-hill contributed significantly to improving her position. The ability to quicken her pace in the final stages is a strong point for future races. Great job representing the Beanie Babes!
