Hey, I'm running my first marathon this Saturday down in Washington DC. I purchased a long sleeve Adidas Response Climacool top about a month ago since the race day average temperature is only a high of 57F and low of 38F. The race starts at 7am and I figured given that average high and low it would range from about 42-52 degrees throughout the race.

Now the forecast is calling for a low of 51 and a high of 66, anybody with experience with the Adidas Climacool long sleeve tops have any input on whether I would be fine or if I get a singlet?

I would say it varies greatly with what you're used to. I'm from the North and if I wore a long-sleeve in 51+ degrees, I'd be really hot the whole way.

It'll work, but only if you get it in black.

The reason I'm torn is because the material feels extremely light and breathable, and I have never run in a fabric like this when the temps got above 58. I'm used to under armour when the temps are below 40, but I figured that would be too much for 42-52 (the predicted temps for race day a month ago). That's why I'm curious to hear from those with experience running in the Climacool fabric in 58+ weather.
