North Dorset Village Marathon
Race Day Weather
Comfortable temps
Mild 53°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. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. High humidity (83%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.
