Emerson's Dunedin Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, moderate wind
A cool 48°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Moderate winds around 17mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. Moderate humidity at 78% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

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.
