Pittsburgh Marathon
Race Day Weather
Mild start, tailwind boost
Runners will face a temperature rise from 53°F at the start to a peak of 66°F. With a maximum wind of 10 mph from the SW, a tailwind will assist from miles 1-2, 12-15, and 20, while headwinds will challenge runners from miles 3-5 and 21-22. Given the humidity at 67%, pacing adjustments may be necessary, especially on the exposed stretches where headwinds occur.
