Madison Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, steady finish
Runners will face temperatures starting at 35°F and rising to 44°F by race end, with humidity at 68% creating a cool but manageable environment. Winds will be light and variable, with a headwind in the early miles before shifting to tailwind benefits in the later stages. Strategy should focus on pacing conservatively in the first half, especially in headwind sections from Miles 1-3 and 10-19, while taking advantage of tailwinds from Miles 5-8 and 22-27.
