Boston or Bust Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm start, big temp swing
Starting at 68°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temps will climb significantly to 92°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 80% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info
The Boston or Bust Marathon and Half Marathon run an extremely flat, fast course along Aldridge Creek and the Tennessee River in south Huntsville, Alabama. Both distances start and finish at Ditto Landing Marina and stay entirely on the Aldridge Creek Greenway. Both courses will be USATF certified, and the race is a last-chance Boston Marathon qualifier each September.
