Cool start, warming trend ahead

Runners will face temperatures starting at 42°F and climbing to 59°F by the end. With light winds from the NW at 7 mph, it won't significantly impact performance. The humidity is moderate at 56%, so maintaining hydration will be key, especially in the later laps as temperatures rise. Runners should consider adjusting their pace conservatively as they progress through the race.
