Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Darya Bolgova #27863 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Consistent Effort with Strong Finish Darya Bolgova showed a commendable performance at the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede. Over 7 miles, she maintained a steady pace, starting with a 20:21 minute/mile pace and finishing with an overall 25:39 minute/mile. Notably, her third mile, including the notoriously steep Hayes Hill, was her slowest at a 28:16 minute/mile pace, but she managed to regain momentum, especially in the sixth mile with a 24:10 minute/mile split, showing remarkable resilience and pacing skills. Overall, she finished with a time of 3:11:06, holding her placement well, ending 702nd in her gender out of 1839 participants and part of the "Feel the Fiorce" team. Daryas ability to recover after the challenging elevation demonstrates strong potential. For future races, focusing on maintaining a more even pace through difficult sections, like Hayes Hill, could further improve performance. She's well-positioned for future success.
