Course & Travel Notes

Early October in Cedar Falls typically brings highs around 63°F and lows near 40°F, so plan for cool morning conditions with layers you can remove as the day warms, and consider bringing rain gear since about 27% of days see measurable precipitation. With sunrise at 7:09 AM and the 8:00 AM start time, you'll have minimal daylight buffer, so arrive early. The venue sits at 853 feet elevation, which is moderate and shouldn't pose significant acclimation concerns.
