Surf City Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool conditions, steady tailwind
Runners will face temperatures starting at 52°F and rising to 63°F. The humidity will average 63% with a dew point of 45°F, remaining manageable. A light tailwind will assist runners from miles 1-3, 5, 7, and 11-12, but they should prepare for a headwind from miles 13-16 and 22-27. Given the cool conditions, a conservative start pace is advisable, especially in the latter segments.
