Aruba Marathon
Race Day Weather
Hot start, strong wind, high humidity
A warm 81°F start means heat management is critical — consider dialing back your goal pace by 10-20 sec/mi. Strong 23mph gusts could slow exposed stretches — tuck behind other runners when you can. High humidity (86%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.
