Bears Ears Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cold start — layer up, big temp swing
Runners will start in chilly 34°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temps will climb significantly to 60°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.
