Thumb Coast 5K
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential
A cool 40°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. Moderate humidity at 68% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.
