Richmond Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool conditions, strategic pacing needed
Runners will face temperatures starting at 44°F and peaking at 48°F, with average humidity at 78%. A crosswind will greet participants from miles 1-7, shifting to headwinds at critical points, especially during miles 8 and 11-12. Given these conditions, runners should consider adjusting their pace early and staying hydrated, particularly on the exposed stretches from miles 22-27 where headwinds will be most challenging.
