Warm start, moderate wind

Starting at 69°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temperatures rising to 78°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Moderate winds around 14mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. Moderate humidity at 70% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

About the Apple Dumpling Day Half Marathon

The Apple Dumpling Day Half Marathon starts in the village of Hustler, Wisconsin, runs about a mile north on the Omaha Trail, then turns and heads south toward Elroy. Runners pass through the 875-foot railroad tunnel, built in 1876, roughly six miles in. The course then leaves the trail for a stretch of Elroy streets that includes a covered bridge and the Elroy Commons, and finishes on the 400 Trail at Schultz Park. It is a point-to-point run on mostly shaded rail-trail on the first Saturday after Labor Day.
