Wild West Marathon & Ultra
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, big temp swing
A cool 45°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temps will climb significantly to 78°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.
The oldest trail marathon in the United States, the legendary Wild Wild West Marathon, and UIltra have been held for 45 years! Join us for a super scenic trail race that goes through the great Alabama Hills and the foothills of Mt. Whitney. Water stops or aid stations are located approximately every four miles along with one of American's most scenic trail races. We offer 50-mile and 50km ultramarathons, a 26.2-mile marathon, and a ten-mile race. Source
