Buckeye 5K
Buckeye 5K race day weather
Cool start — fast day potential, big temp swing
A cool 48°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temps will climb significantly to 67°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

About the Buckeye 5K
The 5K at the Buckeye Marathon covers 3.1 miles on an out-and-back course that starts and finishes at the Buckeye Municipal Airport in Buckeye, Arizona. It uses the first stretch of the same road as the 10K, with views of the White Tank Mountains on the outgoing section, and turns around at the halfway point. The course rises slightly on the way out and is gently downhill on the way back to the airport.
