SF Marathon 5K: Narges Shahidi Claims the NB35-39 Field

• Sole finisher and winner: Narges Shahidi, 39, San Jose, CA — 44:37 (14:22/mi avg)
• Conditions: 55°F and overcast with 89% humidity and a 7 mph wind along the San Francisco waterfront

Narges Shahidi stepped up, toed the line, and got it done — crossing in 44:37 to take the NB35-39 field at the 2024 San Francisco Marathon 5K. At 39 years old and representing San Jose, she was the only finisher in her group, which means she also owns the top-to-bottom result from first place to last.

Running at 14:22 per mile through a cool, damp San Francisco morning, Shahidi navigated the 55°F overcast conditions and high humidity that greeted the entire field on race day. There's no drama in a field of one — but showing up and finishing a race is its own statement, and Shahidi made hers in 44:37.
