They sure won't have to worry about the heat. Welcome to the opposite end of the spectrum as far as October weather goes...

Unfortunately they will have to deal with precipitation. 60% chance of rain on Sunday in Denver.

And that's not the worst of it...very cold and windy as well. Will likely see some snow mixing in with the rain in the foothills just west of town.

Free race entry great.

Flight=$300
Hotel=$200 (for 2 nights)

Nice gensture/ploy by Denver's part, but you are better off going to Grand Rapids or Detroit or another marathon near your city for a "redo"
