Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Benjamin Eversole #2580 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Strong Finish After Mid-Race Gains Benjamin Eversole maintained a consistent early pace with identical 8:06 min/mile splits for the first two miles. The third mile demonstrated a slight slowdown at 8:44 min/mile, likely impacted by Hayes Hill as indicated by the pace change between miles two and four. Notably, Benjamin gained significant positions, improving his place from 170th at mile four to 120th by mile six. A strong performance in the latter stages, particularly the impressive 7:10 and 7:16 min/mile splits in miles six and seven, contributed to his solid overall pace and competitive positions. By the end of the 7.45-mile 12K Centipede event, Benjamin secured a time of 58:53 and an overall pace of 7:54 min/mile. His standing as 78th among male participants out of 1839 total competitors reflects improvement through the course. Maintaining pace through uphill sections and capitalizing on downhill stretches could enhance future performance.
