Cool conditions, steady pacing advised

Runners will face temperatures starting at 41°F and rising to 48°F by race's end. Wind will be light, averaging 9 mph from the WNW, creating a mix of headwind, tailwind, and crosswind throughout the course. With humidity at 59%, pacing should be steady, especially early on, to conserve energy for the warmer late laps. Light gear is recommended for the pre-race wait.
