Suga Bay to Breakers Record Confirmed: BTS Member Finished 2026 San Francisco 12K Before Stanford Show

BTS member Suga completed the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K in San Francisco on May 17, with official results listing him under the name MIN YUNKI and bib number 1016. The Suga Bay to Breakers entry shows a chip time of 1 hour, 4 minutes and 43 seconds over 7.45 miles, placing the run within the verified race record rather than only social media sightings. ¹

The San Francisco race took place the same day Suga was reported to have performed at Stanford Stadium, adding a precise race result to a Bay Area visit already covered by local outlets. ABC7 San Francisco / KGO-TV reported that he joined the field before the concert, while SFGATE reported that he started in the 8 a.m. wave and later appeared at the evening show. ^{2 3}

Suga Bay to Breakers Result: Official Race Record

Laurel Results, the official results page for the event, lists MIN YUNKI #1016 as a finisher in the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K on May 17. The entry gives a distance of 7.45 miles, a chip time of 1:04:43 and an average pace of 8:41 per mile. ¹

The results page places him 1,026th overall out of 20,538 finishers. It also lists him 837th among 9,294 men and 298th in the M30-39 division out of 3,090 runners. ¹ Those figures provide the clearest available measurement of the run: not only the finish time, but also the size of the field and where the result ranked within it.

Local coverage emphasized that Suga’s presence was not announced as a formal celebrity appearance. ABC7 reported that he ran among a crowd described at about 30,000 participants and that race organizers did not know beforehand that he would be taking part. Phyllis Blanchard, speaking in the ABC7 report, summarized the organizer view in one sentence: “He was there to run, that’s our takeaway.” ²

From Start Wave To Stanford Stadium

SFGATE reported that Suga joined the 8 a.m. start wave while wearing a blue cap, black top and gray shorts. The outlet also reported that the race results page used his real name, Min Yunki, and repeated the 1:04:43 finish time and 8:41-per-mile pace shown in the official record. ³

NBC Bay Area also covered the appearance, reporting that Suga took part in the Sunday morning Bay to Breakers race before a Stanford Stadium concert. The station framed the item as a local news report on the BTS member being spotted in the San Francisco 12K rather than as a scheduled promotional activity. ⁴

The timeline in the available reports is consistent: the race took place on the morning of May 17 in San Francisco, and Suga later performed at Stanford Stadium. ABC7 described the run as occurring before the Stanford concert, and SFGATE reported that he ran in the morning and performed that evening. ^{2 3}

The San Francisco Chronicle added that the finish put him in the upper portion of a field of more than 20,000 finishers, while also citing post-race analysis that his pace improved again after Hayes Street Hill during the back half of the course. The same report noted remarks from the final Stanford concert about his Bay Area stay and local housing advertisements, including the brief line, “Google is kinda creepy.” ⁵

Video Posted After The Race

The race was later tied to Suga’s own social media activity. SFGATE reported on May 31 that he posted a video to his official Instagram account showing parts of the San Francisco running day. The report described scenes including an early departure from lodging in Menlo Park, arrival in time for the start, downtown San Francisco, Golden Gate Park and Hayes Street Hill. ⁶

That later post did not replace the official result; it added visual context to a result already listed by Laurel Results and covered by Bay Area news outlets. The official record remains the key source for the time, pace, distance and rankings, while the local reports supply the event context: a low-profile race entry on the same day as a major stadium performance.

For readers tracking Suga’s Bay Area run, the confirmed facts are narrow but clear. He completed the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K on May 17 under the listed name MIN YUNKI, finished in 1:04:43 at an 8:41-per-mile pace, and was reported by multiple Bay Area outlets to have done so before performing at Stanford Stadium later the same day.
