Date: March 15, 2026 Participant: Cris Sosa #5312 Race: 2026 Shamrock Run Fest presented by Toyota Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Early Pace with Opportunities for Endurance Growth Cris Sosa from Clackamas, OR, demonstrated a promising performance at the 2026 Shamrock Run Fest half marathon, clocking an overall time of 2:14:43 for a distance of 13.1 miles. His initial mile was solid, managing an 8:48 min/mile pace while ranking 866th overall. Notably, during the early stages (mile 2), Cris improved his position to 772nd overall, highlighting his strong start, pacing consistently under 9 minutes in the first 3 miles. However, from mile 4 onward, there was a shift, with split paces increasing to 9:21 min/mile and then gradually extending, peaking with an 11:37 min/mile during mile 8. This trend suggests an endurance challenge as the race progressed. While final placements were 2503rd overall, with a division rank of 343 out of 4421 participants, Cris can target future training towards maintaining early pace consistency throughout longer distances to improve overall race times.
