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 marathon starts at 06:45.
Kit and pacing
What it means
Mild: start a touch conservatively
Around 13°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.
Expect wind
Wind was 24 km/h on a typical morning here. Run in a group on exposed stretches, and aim for even effort rather than even splits: time lost into a headwind isn't all won back with it behind you.
General guidance from past years' numbers. Check the forecast in race week.
