Buckeye Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool conditions, steady wind
Runners will face a temperature rise from 40°F at the start to a maximum of 64°F. Wind from the ESE at 18 mph will provide a headwind throughout, with gusts reaching 22 mph. With low humidity at 28%, pacing can remain steady, but runners should be mindful of the wind's impact on their strategy.
Known for its downhill and fast course (marathoners will drop over 530 feet in elevation from the start to finish), the marathon route starts in the community of Sun City Festival before making its way around the beautiful White Tank Mountains and ending at the runway of the Buckeye Municipal Airport. Half Marathon, 10K, 5K and 1M runners will start and finish at the airport, with views of the White Tank Mountains on the outgoing section of the out-and-back courses. Source
