Steel Rail Marathon & Half
Race Day Weather
Mild start, warming finish
Runners will face a start temperature of 51°F, gradually rising to 68°F. Winds will come from the SSW at 10 mph, with occasional gusts up to 23 mph. With humidity at 61% and a dew point of 45°F, hydration will be key, and runners should consider pacing conservatively as temperatures rise later in the race.
Taking place in Adams, Massachusetts, this event features an out-and-back marathon, half marathon, and 8K along the scenic Ashuwillticook Rail Trail. All three races start and finish at the Adams Visitors Center. The path is shared with the public during the event, so runners may encounter cyclists and pedestrians. The marathon has a strict 6-hour time limit. Proceeds from the race go toward a municipal fund dedicated to maintaining and expanding the rail trail for the local community. Source
