Cool start, steady finish

Runners will face temperatures starting at 48°F and rising to 60°F, with average humidity at 62%. Light winds from the SE will be a non-factor for pacing. A conservative start is advisable, especially as the temperature climbs, allowing runners to adjust to the warming conditions.
