Runners will face a temperature increase from 42°F to 70°F, with max winds reaching 25 mph and gusts up to 38 mph. The first critical segment features a challenging crosswind from miles 1 to 4, followed by a beneficial tailwind at mile 5. As the hills increase, particularly from miles 11 to 14, runners should prepare for a headwind in the latter half of the race, adjusting their pacing accordingly.
