Ogden Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, warm finish ahead
Runners will face a cool start at 37°F, transitioning to a warmer 63°F near the finish. With light winds peaking at 6 mph and humidity around 55%, conditions remain manageable. A conservative pace is recommended early on, especially with the significant descents in the first half. Expect a crosswind during the initial miles, turning to a tailwind around the halfway point, which should aid runners heading towards the finish.
This course drops 1,119 ft from start to finish, so we look at it at 2 points, not just the start line. In a typical year, at 9:00/mi, you start at 37° and finish around 10:55 AM in 63°; typical start-line conditions say 56° then.
