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 68°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info
The Carlsbad Marathon started out as the San Diego Marathon. It is said to be one of the oldest races on the West Coast. In 1978, The Heart of San Diego Marathon, was created and thus there were 2 marathons in San Diego. When InMotion Inc. was hired to put on the marathon, they made the decision to combine the two marathons and then eventually the marathon was moved from San Diego to Carlsbad.Wikipedia
