Mankato Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, gradual warm-up
Runners will face a temperature rise from 41°F at the start to 53°F at the finish, with a gentle wind from the WSW reaching up to 12 mph. With average humidity at 64%, hydration will be key, particularly during the warmer later miles. The course features headwinds from miles 3-10 and 14-17, so a conservative pace early on will help manage energy for the tailwind sections approaching the finish.
