Houston Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, mild finish
Runners will face a temperature range from 42°F at the start to 61°F by the finish. Winds will start as a headwind during the first two miles before shifting to crosswinds, then tailwinds from miles 7-8 and 19-23. With humidity at a comfortable 36%, hydration is key but pace adjustments are not necessary. Expect tougher conditions in the headwind sections, particularly from miles 12-18.
