Carolina Reaper Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm temps, hydrate frequently
Runners will face steadily rising temperatures from 84°F to 90°F, with humidity at 56% and a dew point of 69°F. A light headwind at 9 mph may offer some relief, but hydration will be crucial. Runners should start conservatively and adjust pace as needed to manage the heat.
