Runners will face a temperature range from 54°F to 60°F, with average humidity at 75%, suggesting a need for hydration. Wind will start as a headwind in the first two miles, shifting to crosswinds and a tailwind later, especially beneficial from miles 13 to 20. Adjust pacing accordingly during the tougher headwind segments, particularly between miles 10-12 and 23-25, to conserve energy.
