From the north also. Make sure you wear sunscreen on your back side. I got a horrible sunburn in 2014 when it was 70 and sunny. Just take it slower than normal and drink drink drink at the aid stations. I carried salt tabs with me also. Have fun!

Wait. I heard it was going to be perfect cool weather. What changed?

Wait a sec. 12pm? Don't you start at 8am? 4:00 marathon?

race starts at 10. should be at heartbreak by noon (mile 20-21)

I live in NE. It is awesome weather for a marathon right now. The humidity is about as low as it gets in NE.

Barring dramatic changes, it will be fine for Monday. On the warmer side, but not hot and not humid. Hydrate and use sun protection and you should be fine.

I thought I heard there would be a sea breeze and 50° as you approached the city.

Just checked marathon records and says high of 68 for the 1982 race. So this could conceivably be warmer. I'm going to get a hat like Beardsley. Also Salazar was already a douche even in 1982

Just sayin...

70 degrees and low humidity sounds AMAZING to me, but I live in the deep South where I spend 5 months of the year training in 90+ temps and 1,000% humidity with a dew point of One-Million.

The temperature was 68 at the start at noon in 1982. High temperature was in the 80s.

I think it hit 90 during the 2012 race. When Wesley Korir ran.

Its going to be hot, but not the hottest.

You say you live in NE but don't realize that there are dramatic changes in weather? Troll.

Also its like 50 degrees in Boston today. So 60-70 degrees is not a dramatic change.

Hottest Boston was 1976, "Run for the Hoses" when it was 100 at the noon start.

True.

High of 88 in 2012.

Temps mostly in the 60s, dewpoints in the 40s. Slight tailwind might create still air conditions that will heat you up, but you'll be okay.
