Lincoln Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, big temp swing
A cool 50°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temps will climb significantly to 65°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info
The Lincoln Marathon, founded in 1975 by the Lincoln Track Club, starts and finishes at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus. Runners tackle a paved, fast, and mostly flat course, gaining and losing roughly 525 feet, and pass landmarks like the Nebraska State Capitol and Memorial Stadium. It's also a Boston Marathon qualifier, which adds to its competitive appeal.
