Cool temps, strong winds ahead

Runners will face temperatures starting at 57°F and peaking at 58°F, with high humidity at 80%. A steady wind from the SSW will peak at 20 mph, creating crosswinds on many sections. With the hilly terrain, especially the climbs around miles 1, 8, and 18, runners should adjust their pace conservatively, especially in the headwind stretches from miles 13-20.
