Zurich Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cold start — layer up, warming through the race, chance of rain
Runners will start in chilly 37°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temperatures rising to 51°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. There's a chance of rain, so have a backup gear plan ready. Moderate humidity at 69% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.
