Consistent Performance with a Strong Finish Caroline Willian's splits during the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K demonstrate a remarkable consistency in her performance. She started strong with the first two miles having identical paces of 6:52 min/mile. Her pace slightly decreased on the third mile to 7:21 min/mile, likely impacted by the climb on Hayes Hill from 2.2 to 2.7 miles.

Between miles six and seven, her pace improved significantly to 6:30 and 6:25 min/mile, respectively. Her ability to accelerate in the latter part of the race is commendable. Finishing with an elapsed time of 51:14, Caroline secured 30th in her division out of the larger field, showing her capacity to compete effectively. Continuing to work on pacing through steeper sections could further enhance her race strategy.
