Impressive Consistency with Strong Division Finish Willem Ebbinge maintained a remarkable pace throughout the "2026 Bay to Breakers" 15K event, achieving second place in the M20-29 division. He demonstrated consistent performance, especially evident in the first two miles, where he managed a pace of approximately 5:52 to 5:51 min/mile.
