Typical ConditionsCool and dry at high altitude, sunny

What to Prepare: At 1,890m altitude, oxygen is roughly 20% lower than sea level — adjust your pace goal down 5-8% if you haven't acclimatized. The dry air and strong UV at altitude demand extra sunscreen and hydration at every aid station, even if you feel fine.

Wind Impact on Race Day

Wind at 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.
