Consistent Effort with a Strong Finish Bailey Steger from El Granada, CA, maintained a steady pace throughout the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede. She begins with a 15:38 min/mile pace for the first mile, maintaining ranks at 898 overall and 451 among females. Hayes Hill's steep section potentially impacted her performance between miles 2.2 and 2.7, where her pace dropped to 21:17 min/mile. Despite this, she made remarkable progress as her position improved to 718 overall and 351 among females by the 3-mile mark. Towards the end of the race, Bailey demonstrated resilience and picked up her pace to 16:51 min/mile in the last portion, finishing with an overall time of 2:41:18 for 7.45 miles. Although her final standing was 1245 out of 1839 total participants, her consistency and ability to regain speed in the last mile are commendable. Collaborating with her team, LOVB San Francisco, the next focus could be to tackle steep inclines more effectively.
