Abingdon Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential
A cool 50°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temperatures rising to 58°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. High humidity (82%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.
