• Krista Jiranek holds a clear 1:44 gap over 3rd-place Alexa Corse (25:20, 8:09/mi).
• Sitara Ramesh (26:04) and Lili Muskal (26:06) finish 4th and 5th, separated by just two seconds in a field of 219.

Priya Ravi, 25, from San Francisco, was in a different race entirely on Sunday morning. Running at 7:13/mi through the city's cool, humid streets, she crossed in 22:26 — a full 1:10 ahead of anyone else in the F25-29 field. That margin isn't a close win; it's a statement. On a morning where 55°F and 89% humidity kept conditions honest, Ravi looked unbothered.

Krista Jiranek (23:36, 7:36/mi) was a convincing second, running nearly half a minute clear of the chase pack and holding off Alexa Corse (25:20, 8:09/mi) for the runner-up spot without much drama. Corse's 8:09/mi pace put her comfortably ahead of the cluster forming behind her.

That cluster, however, was where the real racing happened. Sitara Ramesh and Lili Muskal — both 27 and 26 respectively — ran themselves to near-identical finish times of 26:04 and 26:06, with just two seconds deciding 4th and 5th place between them. Then came a tight six-runner stretch from 6th through 11th: Yunhuen Del Campo (27:28), Marissa Mengert (27:29 and 27:32 — a duplicate entry worth noting), Carolina Ryklansky (27:38), Aly Moriarity (27:52), and Erica Lee (28:08) all packed into roughly 40 seconds of racing.

Further back, a dense wave of San Francisco-area runners filled out the top 20, with times ranging from Cindy Chen's 28:14 (12th) to Isabelle Dragnea's 29:49 (20th) — ten finishers spread across just 95 seconds. With 219 women completing the race, the F25-29 group proved one of the deepest on the course.
