Kit and pacing

What it means

  • Warm: adjust your goal pace

    Around 19°C on race morning costs most runners time. Plan to run a few seconds per kilometer slower than in cool weather, take on fluid and salt at every station, and wear light colors and sun cream.

  • The weather varies a lot

    Race mornings here have ranged by 10°C from year to year. Pack for both, and settle your kit and pacing from the forecast in the last few days.

General guidance from past years' numbers. Check the forecast in race week.
