Everyone take a deep breath … This year’s weather forecast for the New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 5 looks promising. Runners from last year will remember hot and humid temperatures—the race started in the mid 60s and got as high as 74 degrees. It was one of the hottest races on record. But fear not. This year, the temperatures on race day will hover in the 50s and low 60s. When the women’s professional field sets off at 8:40 a.m.
Sunday’s forecast will be only slightly warmer than the historical average And for context, the course records set by Geoffrey Mutai in 2011 and Margaret Okayo in 2003 were set in temperatures that were 53 degrees and 65 degrees, respectively. Despite the cool but not frigid forecast, remember to layer up at the start. There’s nothing worse than shivering in the start corrals, so bring some extra clothes that you don’t mind parting with just before the gun sounds.
