Blue Nose Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, moderate wind, chance of rain
A cool 46°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Moderate winds around 13mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. There's a chance of rain, so have a backup gear plan ready. High humidity (85%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.

Race Info
The Blue Nose Full Marathon begins and ends at the Emera Oval, but not before crossing the bridge and showcasing some of the beautiful neighbourhoods of Dartmouth. Halifax has gained a reputation for being a little “hill-y” but it’s nothing you can’t handle (we’re sure of it!). You can also find comfort in knowing that the whole city will be cheering you on from the sidelines. Source
