Boston or Bust Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm start, steamy finish
Runners will face temperatures starting at 69°F and climbing to 82°F by the end. With high humidity at 76% and a light 6 mph wind, it's crucial to adjust pacing early, particularly in the later laps as conditions become more oppressive. Hydration will be key, with frequent intake recommended. The potential for light rain adds a slight chance for cooling, but runners should prepare for warm and humid conditions throughout.

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 are USATF certified, and the race is a last-chance Boston Marathon qualifier each September. Source
