The live race-day forecast unlocks 111 days from now, when November 7, 2026 enters the 7-day forecast window — a start-time read for the scheduled 8:00 AM start. Until then, no made-up long-range forecast — the history below is what race morning usually looks like.
Race-morning weather history
Reliably cool PR weather is the brand — typical start temps in the 30s-40s F. Wyndo tracks what this calendar slot has actually served up at the start hour — temperature, dew point, wind, and rain — including the years when weather canceled or disrupted the race, and reads the live forecast for the start once race week arrives.
The Indianapolis Monumental Marathon moves around the calendar year to year (Saturday in early November (1st or 2nd Saturday; 2026 is the 1st Saturday)), so there's no fixed slot to compute an honest year-by-year history from — a table built on guessed dates would be wrong, so we don't show one. We're sourcing the real past edition dates by hand; the history lands here when they do.
