Athens Marathon (Greece)
Race Day Weather
Comfortable temps, moderate wind
Starting at 62°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temperatures rising to 71°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Moderate winds around 12mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. Moderate humidity at 69% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.
