Montara Mountain Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, gradual warm-up
Runners will face a cool start at 47°F, gradually warming to 52°F by the finish. With a light NW wind at 7 mph, it won't be a significant factor. Humidity is relatively high at 72%, so pacing adjustments may be necessary as temperatures rise in later laps. Staying hydrated and possibly adjusting pace conservatively will help maintain performance throughout the race.
This course climbs 1,640 ft to its high point and back, so we look at it at 2 points, not just the start line. In a typical year, at 9:00/mi, you start at 47° and finish around 11:55 AM in 52°.
