Comfortable temps, big temp swing

Mild 60°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Temps will climb significantly to 80°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Common Goals:

Picture this: a perfect place, a perfect pace, a perfect race…Knowing a downhill marathon is about speed, and that it’s going to be a fast run, I still encourage you to take the time to look around and savor the unique beauty only a Black Hills of South Dakota Marathon can provide. This course has proven a spiritual journey for me and I hope when you cross that finish line you feel the same way! Source
