Duneland Half Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, warming up
Runners will face a temperature rise from 46°F at the start to 58°F by the finish, with humidity averaging 63%. Light winds from the SW will pose a headwind in the early miles and again from miles 6-8, making pacing adjustments crucial during those segments. As conditions warm, runners should consider starting conservatively to maintain energy for the latter part of the race.
