Belleville Main Street Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, mild finish, crosswinds
Runners will face temperatures starting at 51°F and rising to 61°F by the finish. Winds will be a factor, with a crosswind from the SW in the first and last segments, shifting to a tailwind during Miles 15 and 20. Given the humidity at 64%, it's advisable to adjust pacing accordingly and stay hydrated, particularly during the tougher segments with headwinds around Miles 21-22 and 26.
