French Riviera Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, warm finish
Runners will face a cool start at 52°F, with temperatures gradually rising to 59°F by the finish. Wind will be light, with a tailwind from the NE for most of the early miles but a headwind during Mile 10. Given the humidity at 71%, pacing adjustments may be necessary, especially during the warmer finish. Hydration should be prioritized as temperatures rise toward 60°F.
The finish is 16 miles from the start, so we forecast it at 2 points, not just the start line. At 9:00/mi, you start at 51° and finish around 11:55 AM in 58°.
