What to Prepare: November in Fukuoka offers solid racing weather — cool but not freezing. Dress in a singlet and arm sleeves for flexibility. Wind off Hakata Bay can pick up in exposed sections, so use other runners as windbreaks.

Wind Impact on Race Day

Wind at 12.8 km/h can affect your marathon pace by 5-15 seconds per kilometer. Headwinds slow you down exponentially — a 20 km/h wind costs more than twice a 10 km/h wind.
