Cool start, rolling course challenges

Runners will face a temperature rise from 53°F at the start to 67°F by the end, with humidity averaging 82%. A headwind will challenge runners from Miles 1 to 5 and again from 13 and 18-19, so pacing adjustments are advised. Hydration should be prioritized due to the high humidity, especially during the rolling sections where elevation changes may increase effort levels.
