Race Day Weather
Cool conditions, strategic pacing needed
Runners will face a consistent temperature around 52°F throughout the race, with a light crosswind affecting the first five miles. As humidity is at 64%, pacing adjustments are essential, especially during the 115ft climb at mile 5. The tailwind from miles 6 to 8 will provide a boost, but a headwind hits at mile 11, requiring an extra effort.

Race Info
The Monson Memorial Classic Half Marathon and 5K runs through Monson, Massachusetts each fall. The half marathon climbs through rolling rural roads for roughly the first ten miles, then drops downhill through the final five kilometers to the finish. The race was founded in 1996 in memory of sisters Kelly Waldron and Kathy Waldron Perry, who died eight months apart from cancer, and proceeds now benefit Griffin's Friends, a Springfield-area nonprofit that supports children with cancer and their families.
