March on Catalina: 55–72°F. Coastal marine layer possible. Wind on the exposed ridge sections. Cattle and bison on the course.
Six aid stations over 26.2 miles — fewer than most marathons. Athletes must carry more between stations.
Fewer aid stations than a road marathon means athletes who depend on race-provided nutrition must plan carefully. Carrying your own gels is non-negotiable on this remote island course.
