Mesa Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, rising temps ahead
Runners will face a temperature rise from 48°F at the start to 67°F by the finish. With a 7 mph crosswind initially, shifting to a tailwind after mile 3, pacing strategies should include a conservative start to manage heat later in the race. The steady drop in elevation from miles 1 to 10 will benefit runners, particularly when aided by tailwinds in those segments.
