Comfortable temps, chance of rain

Mild 52°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. There's a chance of rain, so have a backup gear plan ready. Moderate humidity at 80% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

About the Victoria 8K

The 8K is a relatively flat out-and-back course that starts at the Legislative Grounds near the Inner Harbour and runs along the Dallas Road waterfront before returning to the same finish. It takes place on the Sunday of race weekend, ahead of the half marathon and marathon starts, and its ocean views and level profile make it a popular choice for personal bests.
