Lock 2 Lock Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm start, rising temps ahead
Runners will face temperatures starting at 64°F, climbing to a peak of 79°F by the end of the race. With humidity at 66% and a slight breeze from the WSW, pacing adjustments are crucial, especially as the heat builds in the later laps. Hydration will be important throughout, and runners should consider starting conservatively to manage the warming conditions. Light rain is possible, so a throwaway layer may be useful during pre-race.
