Ogden Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool morning, warming up fast
Runners will face a temperature range starting at 36°F and peaking at 60°F. Winds will be light at 6 mph with gusts up to 24 mph but won’t significantly impact pacing. With rising temperatures, it’s crucial to adjust pacing conservatively, especially over the flat terrain. Expect the toughest conditions between miles 15-16 with a headwind; utilize tailwinds from miles 9-13 for advantageous pacing.
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.
