Cartago Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm start, rain likely
Starting at 67°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temperatures rising to 75°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Rain is likely — waterproof your phone and bib, and consider a disposable poncho for the corral. Moderate humidity at 73% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.
