Race Day Weather
Cool start, warming up gradually
Runners will face a temperature rise from 42°F at the start to 62°F by the finish, accompanied by a gentle breeze peaking at 7 mph. With humidity at 56%, conditions remain comfortable but hydration should be prioritized. The first half features beneficial tailwinds from Miles 1-5; however, headwinds in Miles 7-12 will require pacing adjustments. Runners should anticipate a steady crosswind in the late race segments, particularly during the critical final miles.

The Atlanta Marathon (branded Publix Atlanta Marathon for sponsorship reasons) is an annual marathon held in Atlanta, Georgia, except in 2021 where it was held in Hampton, Georgia on the premises of Atlanta Motor Speedway because of governmental restrictions. On the same day, a half marathon is also held, and some years also feature a 5K run. Wikipedia
