Run Through Time Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cold start, gradual warm-up
Runners will face a chilly start at 31°F, warming to 45°F by the finish. With light winds at 6 mph and moderate humidity at 53%, conditions will feel cooler, especially early on. Runners should dress in layers for the start and consider pacing conservatively as temperatures increase on later laps. Hydration will be crucial, especially as the course descends into warmer areas.
This course climbs 1,932 ft to its high point and back, so we look at it at 2 points, not just the start line. In a typical year, at 9:00/mi, you start at 31° and finish around 11:55 AM in 43°.
