Runtastic NEBO Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, warming finish
Runners will face a cool start at 45°F, gradually warming to 72°F by the finish. With light winds from the SSW, conditions will remain favorable, though humidity will stay low at 38%. The steep descent from Mile 12 to 26 means runners should capitalize on the tailwinds while staying hydrated as temperatures rise. Starting conservatively will help manage the heat as they approach the valley.
This course drops 4,541 ft from start to finish, so we look at it at 3 points, not just the start line. In a typical year, at 9:00/mi, you start at 45° and finish around 9:55 AM in 72°; typical start-line conditions say 61° then.
