Race Day Weather
Cool morning, rising temps ahead
Runners will face a start temperature of 52°F, gradually warming to 64°F by race finish. A light crosswind will affect the first four miles, shifting to a headwind for miles 5, 8, 11, and 20, which may challenge pacing. As temperatures rise, it's advisable to start conservatively to manage the heat, especially in the later miles where tailwinds will provide a boost.
