Kit and pacing

What it means

  • Mild: start a touch conservatively

    Around 12°C feels fine at the start but warms up by the second half. Drink from the early stations rather than waiting until you're thirsty, and wear the lightest kit you have.

  • It can be cold

    The coolest morning here dropped to 3°C. Pack gloves and a throwaway layer even if the forecast looks kind.

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