Madison Half Marathon
Madison Half Marathon race day weather
Cold start — layer up, warming through the race
Runners will start in chilly 31°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temperatures rising to 42°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 69% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.
