Suffolk County Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, warming finish
Runners will face a temperature rise from 41°F at the start to 52°F by the finish. A light headwind in the early miles may challenge pacing, especially from Mile 2 and again from Miles 16 to 17. With moderate humidity at 46%, maintaining hydration will be crucial, particularly during the warmer late race segments. Runners should adjust their pace conservatively to adapt to the rising temperatures.
