We study gauge threshold corrections for local grand unified theory models in IIB/F-theory. Consistency with holomorphy requirements of supergravity and the Kaplunovsky-Louis formula implies that the unification scale is enhanced by the bulk radius R from the string scale to M{sub X}=RM{sub S}. We argue that the stringy interpretation of this is via a locally uncanceled tadpole sourced by the hypercharge flux. This sources closed string modes propagating into the bulk--equivalently open string gauge coupling running up to the winding scale M{sub X}. The enhancement to RM{sub s} is tied to grand unified theory breaking by a globally trivial hypercharge flux and will occur in all models realizing this mechanism.
