Each row is the race's date that year where we know it, else the same weekday nearest its usual date. Temperatures and humidity are averaged over 07:00 to 11:00 local time, rain is the total over those hours, and conditions are the commonest over the morning. The half marathon starts at 07:30.

Kit and pacing

What it means

  • Mild: start a touch conservatively

    Around 15°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.

  • Humid mornings

    Humidity is usually around 87%, so sweat evaporates slowly and it feels warmer than the thermometer says. Pace on effort, not just the watch.
