Super Hyak Marathon and Half
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, warming through the race, chance of rain
A cool 47°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. There's a chance of rain, so have a backup gear plan ready. Moderate humidity at 70% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.
This course drops 1,102 ft from start to finish, so we look at it at 2 points, not just the start line. In a typical year, at 9:00/mi, you start at 47° and finish around 10:55 AM in 52°; typical start-line conditions say 57° then.
