Consistent Pace with a Late Surge Daniel Martinez Vara from Richmond, CA participated in the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede event as part of Team La Familia. Over a course of 7.45 miles, Daniel completed the race in 2:09:37, which translates to an average pace of 17:23 min/mile. Notably, he showed determination with steady split times and a significant effort in the closing stages, with a remarkable finish in the 6th mile where he clocked his fastest split at a pace of 12:32 min/mile, helping him improve his position in both overall and gender categories.

His initial three miles saw a progressive increase in his elapsed pace, peaking during the notoriously steep Hayes Hill section.

Keep up the solid work, Daniel!
