If the weather forecast for a marathon is predicting unusually hot and humid conditions, do you all typically bail on the race and reschedule for a later one, or do you just tough it out, and take a poor time as "experience"? Just curious

Depends on your goal. If you accept beforehand that your time will be poor, and plan on hydrating frequently, walking through aid stations, and generally taking your time, I think you can still have a pretty good experience. But if you absolutely "must" hit some sort of time standard in order for the race to be a "success", then you may want to reschedule.

And of course, weather forecasts are often wrong, especially this time of year.
