Europe Marathon race day weather
Warming up, headwinds ahead
Runners will face a temperature rise from 54°F at the start to 65°F by finish, with humidity averaging 72%. A headwind will challenge runners in multiple segments, particularly from miles 1, 8-10, and again in 13 and 17, necessitating conservative pacing early. As temperatures rise, adjusting pace and staying hydrated will be crucial, especially during the warmer mid-race hours.
