OMG!
I'm FUNNY!
Too ME anyhoo...

Maybe this?

Assuming Running/Sprinting Skill(s).

The runner at peak training and abilities might start the race (with a 
plus/minus few hundredth second of an advantage PvK) with a 2d6 check vs DX 
for 1 fST to accelerate from zero to half-max velocity for 1 second.
Each second of continued acceleration adds 1 die to the check for 1 fST to 
again increase velocity by half.
The runner can attempt to start maintaining velocity at the number of dice 
rolled for acceleration divided by two against ST for one fST.
At this point in the race the Figure uses the same mechanic to add dice to 
the next seconds check for endurance in the same fashion as acceleration.
To switch back to acceleration from endurance requires the same number of 
dice for attempting to maintain current velocity for 2 fST against DX.

I use how closely a player rolls their check to their target number to 
determine how well they run their race.
A plus/minus 1 equals control to the player.
The closer they are to the exact number they need to make a successful roll 
the closer they are to hitting their max. with critical successes giving 
them that once in a Figures life chance.
.
I think it might all boil down to fST.
How one spends one's fST across the contest makes one of the largest 
differences.
This may just be my opinion but there it is.
Call HP's a Figures oxygen resources and have them spend or loose them over 
blows.
Trained fighters are awfully timid and correct to be so because rarely can 
an opponents "weird" tactics easily breach their trained tactics.

The Phalanx was boss, then it was not.
Without a lecture. THERE'S an opportunity for game-play at that 'hinge'.

Anyway, each number off of a success adds 0.01 second and each number failed 
off target adds 0.1 second.

Too weird?
