Montana 5K
Race Day Weather
Comfortable temps, moderate wind, rain likely
Mild 52°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Temperatures rising to 61°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Moderate winds around 14mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. Rain is likely — waterproof your phone and bib, and consider a disposable poncho for the corral. High humidity (90%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.
