Super Hyak Marathon and Half
Race Day Weather
Cool start, warming finish
Runners will face a cool start at 47°F, gradually warming to 56°F by the finish. Winds will be light, averaging 7 mph with brief gusts up to 23 mph, but won’t significantly impact pacing. The most challenging conditions occur from miles 8 to 13 with a headwind, so runners should conserve energy early and adjust their pace accordingly. Hydration is essential given the 70% humidity, especially as temperatures rise.
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.
