Consistent Mid-Race Surge Reflects Strong Strategy Caio Bretas demonstrated a notable performance at the 2026 Shamrock Run Fest 5K with an overall time of 37:23 and a pace of 12:03 min/mile. The initial mile was clocked at 17:19, which placed him 4305th overall, 1840th among males, and 221st in the M35-39 division. The second mile highlighted a significant improvement, with a split time of 7:02, dropping his overall position to 2280th and division rank to 144th. He successfully maintained a relatively consistent pace in the third mile, finishing with a time of 12:09.
