Race Day Weather
Cool start, warming finish
Runners will face a temperature rise from 52°F at the start to a peak of 69°F by the end. Wind will primarily be a mix of headwinds and crosswinds, particularly challenging from Miles 1, 11, and 25, while a tailwind will aid runners from Miles 7 to 10 and 20 to 23. With humidity at 64%, pacing should be conservative early on to accommodate the warmer finish.
