Steady Improvement with a Strong Finish Nathan Lepore, representing the Gooselings in the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede event, demonstrated a steady improvement throughout the race. Starting with a pace of 14:11 min/mile, he maintained consistency until the steep incline around Hayes Hill, where his pace decreased to 21:46 min/mile at the 3-mile mark.

Overall, Nathan completed the 7.45-mile race in 1:52:52, with an average pace of 15:09 min/mile. His ability to pick up the pace in the final stages is commendable and suggests strong reserve.

Focusing on hill training could further enhance his ability to maintain pace in future events.
