Cold start — layer up, warming through the race

Runners will start in chilly 37°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temperatures rising to 50°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

About the Snowbird Challenge Marathon

The Snowbird Challenge marathon is ten laps of a paved 2.62-mile loop through the 240-acre Riverwest Preserve, a former golf course in Greenville, South Carolina. The loop follows rolling cart paths, wooden bridges and riverfront, with plenty of shade, and passes the start and finish every 2.62 miles. It is run on the Saturday of the race's late-January weekend, alongside the half marathon and 50K on the same course.
