Bearfest Half Marathon
Bearfest Half Marathon race day weather
Comfortable temps, warming through the race
Mild 55°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Temperatures rising to 66°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. High humidity (83%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.

About the Bearfest Half Marathon
The Bearfest Half Marathon is a modified out and back through Wrangell, Alaska, on the Inside Passage. It starts at the Nolan Center and runs mostly on sidewalk and paved roads, with a large share along the waterfront where whales, seals and eagles are often seen. The course is rolling rather than flat, and it takes place on the Sunday of Bearfest weekend.
