Tupelo Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm start, big temp swing
A warm 71°F start means heat management is critical — consider dialing back your goal pace by 10-20 sec/mi. Temps will climb significantly to 88°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 74% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.
