Emerson's Dunedin Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, steady wind challenges
Runners will face a cool temperature range of 47°F to 48°F with high humidity at 77%. A steady headwind from the west will challenge runners particularly between miles 9-13 and 14-24, requiring strategic pacing adjustments. The early tailwinds from miles 1-8 may provide brief relief, but hydration will be crucial throughout the race to combat the humidity.

Race Info
The Emerson's Dunedin Marathon is a marathon, half marathon, 10-kilometer and 5-kilometer event held each September in Dunedin, New Zealand. The full marathon starts at Portobello Recreation Reserve on the Otago Peninsula and finishes on Ward Street outside Emerson's Brewery in central Dunedin. The AIMS-certified marathon course qualifies as a Boston Marathon qualifier. The half marathon, 10km and 5km distances start later the same morning from Caledonian Ground rather than the marathon's start line.
