Atlanta Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, mild finish
Runners will face a temperature rise from 42°F at the start to a mild 62°F by the finish, with average humidity around 56%. Winds will be predominantly light, with tailwinds assisting through miles 1-5 and 17-21, but headwinds will challenge runners from miles 7-10 and 12-16. Given the rolling course, pacing strategies should include conservatively managing effort during headwind sections and taking advantage of tailwinds.

The Atlanta Marathon (branded Publix Atlanta Marathon for sponsorship reasons) is an annual marathon held in Atlanta, Georgia, except in 2021 where it was held in Hampton, Georgia on the premises of Atlanta Motor Speedway because of governmental restrictions. On the same day, a half marathon is also held, and some years also feature a 5K run. Wikipedia
