NB30-34: Halsne runs away with it in San Francisco

• Zoe Halsne won the NB30-34 race in 26:50 (8:38/mi), more than 12 minutes clear of the field.
• Jensyn Porter finished 2nd in 39:16 (12:38/mi), holding off J. Aaron Delgado by 4:31.
• J. Aaron Delgado rounded out the three-finisher field in 43:47 (14:06/mi).

Three athletes toed the line for the NB30-34 race along San Francisco's iconic waterfront, and Zoe Halsne wasted no time making the outcome clear. The 31-year-old local ran 26:50 at 8:38 per mile — a pace neither of her competitors could match at any point in the race.

The gap tells the whole story up front: Halsne crossed the finish line more than 12 minutes ahead of Jensyn Porter, who claimed 2nd in 39:16 at 12:38 per mile. That's a substantial difference in pace across the same 5K course, with 15 mph winds and 70% humidity making conditions honest for everyone. Porter's effort was solid enough to keep 3rd place at arm's length, finishing 4:31 ahead of J. Aaron Delgado, who made the trip up from Los Angeles and completed the course in 43:47 at 14:06 per mile.

With only three finishers, every spot on the podium was earned, and Halsne's 26:50 stands as the clear performance of the day in the NB30-34 field.
