Baystate 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 62°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

The Baystate Marathon is a marathon held in the city of Lowell, MA every October. It was first run in 1990 and has been run every year since then. The course is known as one of the flattest and fastest marathon courses in the northeastern United States. The race runs along the Merrimack River and crosses different bridges spanning this river. This fast course is often used by many runners to garner a qualifying time for the Boston Marathon as it's one of the top BQ marathons in the US. Besides the (Full) marathon, there is also a Half-Marathon and Half-Marathon Relay. Wikipedia
