Kalamazoo Marathon

Runners will face temperatures starting at 49°F and rising to 55°F by the finish. Winds from the SE will provide a tailwind in Mile 4 and again from Miles 18-19, but there will be headwinds during several segments, notably in Miles 5, 9, 11-12, and 20-22. Runners should adjust their pacing strategy to conserve energy during headwind stretches and stay hydrated to combat the high humidity.
