Tacoma City Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, gradual warming trend
Runners will face a temperature increase from 45°F at the start to 54°F by the finish. With humidity at 65% and light wind from the SW, pacing adjustments are advised, especially during the middle miles. The toughest segments will be the climbs from miles 3 to 5, where runners should conserve energy. A light throwaway layer may be beneficial during the pre-race wait due to the cool feels-like temperature.
