Buffalo Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm day, adjust for heat
Runners will face temperatures starting at 60°F and rising to 73°F, with humidity at 66%. A light headwind at 9 mph will be present throughout, but it won't significantly impact pacing. Competitors should start conservatively and monitor hydration closely as the heat increases, especially in the later laps. Pre-race conditions will feel cooler, so a throwaway layer may be beneficial before the gun.

Race Info
The Buffalo Marathon is held on Memorial Day weekend in downtown Buffalo, New York, with the full and half marathon sharing a common start and finish line less than 900 feet apart. Both races finish in front of the Buffalo Convention Center, where the race expo and post-race party are held. The event's host hotel is the Embassy Suites by Hilton, located around the corner from the Convention Center, and Buffalo Niagara International Airport is about 20 minutes from downtown. The full marathon is a Boston Marathon qualifier. Source
