Bataan Memorial Death March Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, big temp swing
A cool 44°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temps will climb significantly to 69°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info
The Bataan Memorial Death March is held each March at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, commemorating the 1942 Bataan Death March and the American and Filipino soldiers who endured it. Participants choose between a 26.4-mile full marathon route and a 15.6-mile Honorary March route, both crossing paved roads and desert sand trails. Entrants compete in civilian or military divisions, with military "heavy" categories requiring a rucksack of at least 35 pounds. The event is organized by the U.S. Army at White Sands Missile Range and regularly draws several thousand participants. Wikipedia
