King Salmon Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, mild wind effect
Runners will face a steady temperature around 55°F, rising slightly to 56°F by race end. A light wind from the S will provide some relief, but with high humidity at 85%, pacing should be conservative. Hydration will be essential, especially given the dew point of 51°F. Light rain is possible prior to the race, so a throwaway layer may be advisable.

Race Info
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
