Texas Switchback Trail Race
Race Day Weather
Warm start, rising temps ahead
Runners will face a starting temperature of 66°F, climbing to a peak of 83°F. With a max wind of 11 mph from the SSE, conditions will be relatively breezy, but not a major factor. Humidity is at 64%, so hydration will be crucial; runners should adjust their pace conservatively, especially in the later laps as temperatures rise. A light rain is possible, so a throwaway layer may be beneficial before the race.
