Strong Final Leg Performance in 12K Race Mariana Prado Anaya completed the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K with a notable time of 58:48. Averaging a pace of 7:53 minutes per mile, she finished 705th overall out of 26,545 participants, placing her 132nd among female competitors and 54th in her F30-39 age division.
