🌤️ Weather Considerations

Pueblo is located in the "banana belt" of Colorado. 76% of the days in Pueblo are Sunny, more sunny days than San Diego or Miami. However, weather in March is unpredictable. We hope for sunny and 60 degrees but it could be snowing. Check the weather forecast: be prepared for snow and cold. Please do your best to provide a quality and safe run and enjoy your run.
