As the 35th annual ING NYC Marathon approaches on Sunday, runners (including Gothamist) are getting anxious for weather forecasts. A hot day like last year can mean tough times for runners as they deal with dehydration and heat exhaustion. Cold weather can mean rethinking race wear for warmth but also being able to shed that gear as the day gets warmer. Rain, sun, wind, every type of weather mother nature can throw at us can affect the runners and their race. Ultimately runners want a cool overcast day. Spectators, however, just want it to be sunny and warm enough to stand out on 4th Ave in Brooklyn, or 1st Ave in Manhattan and have a couple of beers and cheer people on.
So we will provide a couple of crystal ball forecasts for Sunday from our trusty variety of sources:
| source | temp | conditions | wind |
|---|---|---|---|
| weather.com | 51 | Partly Cloudy | W 10 mph |
| Weather Underground | mid 50s | Partly cloudy | n/a |
| Intellicast | upper 40s | Times of sun and clouds | n/a |
| Accuweather | 52 | Mostly cloudy | SW at 12 mph (gusts to 24mph) |
| NOAA | mid 50s | Partly cloudy | n/a |
For now, it's looking pretty good for the runners, but check back later this week and we'll provide more details as the Nov 7th race gets closer. Any Gothamist readers running?

I'm much happier with this forecast right now. Over the weekend, they were calling for rain and highs only in the mid 40's. That would be a raw run for sure.
Good luck! I'll be cheering you on from near 116th and 5th Ave. Not that I'll be able to pick you out from the crowd or anything...
I sure hope it's cool and gray. Sunday's run in Central Park was way too warm. Blech. Good luck!
Someone should be blogging the about the bloggers running the marathon :P
I don't normally follow marathons but my boss is running in the ING one this Sunday so you can bet I'll be watching some of it on tv. I also felt it only right to donate to the charity he is doing it for because I'm too damn lazy to do something like that so the least I can do is throw a few bucks out there for someone who isn't.
It was way too hot this weekend. The forecast is holding strong for partly cloudy and low 50s. Watching the marathon every year, I always thought, "these guys are f***ing crazy". How did I end up one of them?
Joe I'll be the bald guy sweating, running, and wearing a number on my chest. I'll wave to you.
Can you please send me the weather report from December 30th, 2004 through January 3rd, 2005 in New York City, NY?? I was there with my boyfriend and daughter at that time and am trying to do a scrapebook for my daughter and would love to include the weather for this time period.
