Cool and breezy, hilly challenge ahead

Runners will face temperatures starting at 49°F and rising to 57°F by finish time. With a max wind of 11 mph from the SSE, there will be a tailwind through miles 1-2 and again from miles 6-8, while headwinds will challenge runners in multiple segments. Given the humidity at 83%, pacing should be conservative, particularly on the climbs from miles 1-3 and 9-11.

About the Grand Ridge Marathon

Grand Ridge Park is an incredible setting to finish off this year. Since 2000, the Washington Trails Association has been hard at work developing over seven miles of connected trail from old logging roads and user-built paths. It has all come together to create a beautiful system of trails that are ideal for running, hiking and biking. Source
