Northern Trails Trail Race 5 Miler
Race Day Weather
Warm start, moderate wind
Starting at 67°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temperatures rising to 76°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Moderate winds around 15mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. Moderate humidity at 79% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.
