New England Green River Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm finish, headwind challenges early
Runners will face a temperature rise from 60°F at the start to a warm 79°F by the finish, coupled with an average humidity of 69%. A consistent headwind will challenge runners between miles 2-21, particularly on exposed stretches, necessitating pacing adjustments. As the temperature climbs, hydration frequency should increase, especially after mile 18, where a significant descent may provide brief relief.
