Mystery Mountain Marathon race day weather
Cool morning, warming finish
Runners will face a cool start at 46°F, rising to 60°F by the finish. Light winds from the NW will be a minor factor, with some segments experiencing headwinds, particularly between miles 4-10 and 12-15. As the course descends to mile 19, temperatures will warm to around 58°F, encouraging runners to hydrate regularly and pace conservatively, especially on climbs.
This course drops 984 ft to its low 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 46° and finish around 11:55 AM in 60°.

About the Mystery Mountain Marathon
Marathon and 12-mile trail races traversing difficult, sometimes technical but stunningly beautiful trails, featuring panoramic views of fall foliage displayed on the surrounding mountains. Climbing and descending for about 5,500 feet of elevation gain, runners will enjoy single track, rugged mountain bike, and smooth horse trails while running over and around Fort Mountain, passing the mysterious rock wall built at the top of the mountain over 1,000 years ago.
