Savin Rock Marathon race day weather
Cool conditions, wind factor present
Runners will face temperatures starting at 42°F and rising to 46°F, with a light wind from the WSW at 14 mph. Humidity levels will be moderate at 63%, and there's a light rain chance early on, so a throwaway layer may be wise for pre-race. With the wind creating a mix of headwind and crosswind throughout, pacing adjustments may be necessary, especially on later laps as temperatures rise.

About the Savin Rock Marathon
The Savin Rock Marathon and Half Marathon is run each spring in West Haven, Connecticut, by the Shoreline Sharks running club. The marathon course is USATF certified and a Boston qualifier. The half marathon is one loop and the marathon runs it twice: four flat miles, five hills over the next five miles, then a downhill and flat finish, with about a third of each loop along Long Island Sound. The 2027 race is the Road Runners Club of America's championship event. Source
