Race Day Weather
Cool start, warm finish
Runners will face a temperature rise from 55°F at the start to a warm 89°F by the finish. With a light wind peaking at 6 mph and average humidity at a low 14%, conditions will be favorable for most of the race. However, runners should adjust their pacing during the significant climbs between miles 8 and 13 and prepare for headwinds from miles 20 to 26. Staying hydrated will be crucial as temperatures rise.
