Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Katie Snell #3563 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Distance: 7.4 miles

Steady Progress with Opportunities to Improve Split Consistency Katie Snell completed the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K with a total time of 3:17:13, averaging a pace of 26:28 min/mile. As part of The Taco Cats team, she placed in the top 75% in the female gender category, finishing 9505th out of 24386 participants. Despite a strong start with a consistent pace of 12:19 min/mile for the first mile, her pace slowed notably as the race progressed, particularly during the incline section of Hayes Hill between miles 2 and 3. By mile 3, her pace had decreased to 34:17 min/mile, and she continued with fairly consistent split times of around 26:58 min/mile from miles 5 to 7. These steady splits near the end indicate a uniform approach which can be beneficial in long-distance running. To enhance future performances, focusing on maintaining a more consistent pace from the beginning might benefit overall time and increase her competitiveness in the division.
