How is the typical weather around the time of the marathon?
The weather in New Orleans is just as unpredictable as the weather anywhere, so it’s not possible to describe “typical” weather. Recent years have seen temperatures as low as the 30’s and as high as the 70’s on race day. If I had to predict the conditions for 2002 I’d pick something in the mid range of those extremes, the 50’s, but don’t hold me to it.
