NB30-34: Robbie Kimm Leads Wire-to-Wire in San Francisco

• Robbie Kimm took the win in 1:41:27 (7:44/mi), holding the top non-binary spot at every checkpoint from start to finish.
• Amanda Louis claimed 2nd in 2:02:28, posting the 3rd-fastest non-binary split on the 4M→6M segment.
• Will Ireland finished 3rd in 2:20:27 — five minutes slower than their 2:15:20 here in 2024, when they placed 9th.
• A spread of nearly 1:42:00 separated 1st through 7th in a seven-finisher NB30-34 field.

Robbie Kimm never relinquished an inch. From the opening miles through the finish on a breezy, 59°F morning in San Francisco, Kimm held the top non-binary spot at every single checkpoint — a clean wire-to-wire performance that also included the fastest non-binary split on the 2M→4M segment. The 7:44/mi average tells the story of a controlled, authoritative effort that no one in the field could answer.

Amanda Louis ran a steady race from Cork to the Bay, holding 4th among non-binary runners at every checkpoint and finishing in 2:02:28. Her 3rd-fastest non-binary split on the 4M→6M stretch showed a moment of real punch mid-race, and the 21-minute gap back to Kimm reflects just how dominant the winner was rather than any fade from Louis.

Will Ireland's return to San Francisco is a tale of two years. Back in 2024, Ireland crossed in 2:15:20 for 9th place; this time around, the 2:20:27 finish for 3rd in NB30-34 represents a different day on the course. Ireland did show life on the 8M→9.6M segment — posting the 3rd-fastest non-binary split there — and navigated a fluid middle stretch that saw their non-binary gender standing shift between 8th and 11th before settling at 10th at the line.

Erin Wong (4th, 2:24:56) and Corinne Newbegin (5th, 2:39:14) rounded out the competitive middle of the field, with Newbegin posting the 13th-fastest non-binary split on the final 12M→Finish push. Cody Grey (6th, 3:06:43) and Mary Nguyen (7th, 3:23:04) completed the seven-finisher field, Nguyen crossing at a 15:29/mi average to close out the NB30-34 results.
