Climate in Sardinia: The Sardinian calendar avoids summer: races run from February to May and in October-November, when the thermometer sits between 10 and 22 °C. July and August are impossible for daytime running (38-40 °C) and also carry peak wildfire risk. In winter the interior can freeze at night and the mistral drops the wind chill; on the coast, November is still mild.

Tips for running in Sardinia in march
Pollen allergies start in March: if you are sensitive, carry antihistamine and consider a buff to cover nose and mouth.
Days are longer but mornings still cool: a thin thermal base layer under your race shirt can make the difference.
Pine processionary caterpillars are active in March: avoid touching nests and keep distance from caterpillars on the trail.
