Valley Harvest Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, manageable winds ahead
Runners will face temperatures starting at 49°F and rising to 54°F by finish. Winds will be a factor, with headwinds from the WNW during miles 1-3, 7, and 15-20, making pacing adjustments necessary in those segments. Humidity is relatively high at 74%, so runners should consider starting conservatively to manage their effort. Light rain is possible, but overall conditions will be favorable for racing.
