Consistent Start with Strategic Finish Owen started the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K with a steady pace, clocking consistent 11:22 min/mile splits for the first two miles, placing well within the large field. The climb around Hayes Hill affected the pace, evidenced by the split time at 14:59 min/mile for mile 3, indicating the challenging terrain. Post-Hayes Hill, Owen improved his pace, particularly notable during mile 6, where an 11:49 min/mile split showed strong recovery. He completed the race with an average pace of 12:48 min/mile, finishing in 1:35:24. Noteworthy is his placement at 7606 out of over 24,500 participants.
