Expect a partly cloudy start on Straße des 17. Juni near 56°F, with temperatures rising to about 64°F by the finish. Partly cloudy early should shift toward sunny conditions by the finish. The biggest wind challenge looks to be in miles 6 through 10, where headwind exposure may be the most noticeable. The late miles may feel warmer than the opening stretch, so staying controlled early should help.

What to expect

  • The opening miles should feel fairly comfortable for marathon running, with a good chance to settle into pace early.
  • The final 10K could feel more taxing than the early miles as temperatures or humidity build from halfway back toward the finish.
  • Wind impact looks mixed rather than strongly favorable or strongly challenging across the full route.

What to wear & carry

Based on the start temperature, wind and rain risk.

  • Race kit should be enough at the start
  • Prioritize fluids late
  • No major rain gear needed
  • Minimal extra gear needed
