Date: Feb. 1, 2026 Participant: Nathaniel Ninomiya #6304 Race: 2026 Surf City Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Speed with Slight Variances in Pacing Nathaniel Ninomiya demonstrated notable consistency during the 2026 Surf City Half Marathon, maintaining an impressive average pace of 6:13 min/mile over the 13.1-mile course. His overall completion time was 1:21:37. Noteworthy was his strong start, covering the first two miles consistently at a 6:01 min/mile pace. As the race progressed, his splits varied slightly, but he managed to remain competitive within his division, moving up to hold the 12th place in the M25-29 category at mile 5. Attention to pacing strategy could enhance performance; certain splits showed room for fine-tuning, particularly miles 11 and 12 where pacing slowed to 6:24 and 6:36 min/mile, respectively. Improvements in those sections could tighten the overall time even further. Nevertheless, Nathaniels solid rank among the top 64 males in a field of over 12,400 participants attests to his commendable endurance and capability. Continue building on this strong foundation for future races.
