Race Day Weather
Mild conditions, strategic pacing needed
Runners will face a temperature range of 57°F to 61°F with a moderate humidity of 70%. Wind will shift from a crosswind to a tailwind at various segments, providing some relief between miles 6-8 and 10-12. Given the mild conditions, runners should maintain a steady pace but remain cautious during the crosswind stretches, particularly in miles 1-5 and 9, to conserve energy.
