Guayaquil Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm start, chance of rain, high humidity
A warm 72°F start means heat management is critical — consider dialing back your goal pace by 10-20 sec/mi. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. There's a chance of rain, so have a backup gear plan ready. High humidity (85%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.
