The County 5K
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, big temp swing, moderate wind
A cool 49°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temps will climb significantly to 67°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Moderate winds around 17mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. High humidity (81%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.
