Monument Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, warming fast
Runners will face a temperature rise from 57°F at the start to 81°F by the finish, requiring careful pacing adjustments. Wind will be a factor, with a strong crosswind affecting early miles before transitioning to a beneficial tailwind from miles 2 to 10, then shifting back to crosswinds and headwinds in the later stages. Hydration will be crucial as the humidity remains low at 42%, but temperatures will climb, especially after mile 15.
