Weather prediction for race day

imagesThe average temperatures for October 3 in Murfreesboro are 49 degrees for the low, and 77 degrees for the high. Starting out may be a little chilly; think about wearing an old sweatshirt or jacket that you can toss at the start or at the first water station. We’ll collect them and give to a charity.

Remember, once you get started, the temperature feels about 15-20 degrees hotter than it is. So if it’s 65 degrees when you finish, it will feel like 85. Think twice before you put on that long-sleeve tech shirt. It may feel good at 5 a.m., but it won’t be long before you heat up.
