Vancouver First Responders Half Marathon - Trail Edition
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, chance of rain
A cool 48°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. There's a chance of rain, so have a backup gear plan ready. High humidity (81%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.
