Cool but humid, light winds

Runners will face temperatures starting at 55°F and rising to 56°F by finish. With humidity at 85% and a light headwind from the SSW at 11 mph, pacing should be conservative to manage the moisture. Hydration will be key, especially if the predicted light rain occurs.

About the King Salmon Marathon

Cordova is surrounded by extraordinary ecosystems that combine to form one of the world’s most spectacular natural environments and host to a thriving wild salmon migration. We now host participants from all over the world, and in one of Alaska’s most beautiful and friendliest communities. We have welcomed runners from Japan, Australia, Brazil, Norway, and several states in the continental U.S.A such as New York and Florida – plus many more. Some people come back year after year, and we hope that you will do the same. Our salmon runs are dedicated to the five species of salmon native to our area. Source
