Wabash Trace Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm start, warming through the race, moderate wind
Starting at 66°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temperatures rising to 78°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Moderate winds around 15mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. Moderate humidity at 72% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.
