Pikes Peak Marathon
Race Day Weather
Comfortable temps, big temp swing, rain likely
Mild 54°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Temps will climb significantly to 71°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Rain is likely — waterproof your phone and bib, and consider a disposable poncho for the corral.
