Colorado 10K
Colorado 10K race day weather
Cold start — layer up, big temp swing, chance of rain
Runners will start in chilly 36°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temps will climb significantly to 55°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. There's a chance of rain, so have a backup gear plan ready.
