Sun Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool conditions, steady pace
Runners will face a temperature range from 34°F at the start to a high of 51°F. Winds will be from the S at 7 mph with gusts up to 28 mph, creating a potential challenge. With low humidity at 54%, hydration needs will be minimal, but runners should maintain a steady pace throughout.
The Sun Marathon has four distances. Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and 5K. This race purpose is to get runners out of the cold and into the warmth of Southern Utah in the St. George/Santa Clara Area. Though the courses are primarily downhill over the distance there are some rollers and a few climbs. The views during this race are great with huge red rock mountains all around to views of Gunlock Reservoir during the Marathon and a nice river along the Full and Half Marathons. Source
