Cool start, warming trend ahead

Runners will face a cool start at 45°F, gradually warming to 55°F by the finish. With light winds from the SSE at 9 mph, pacing should remain steady. Humidity at 61% will feel comfortable, but runners should stay hydrated as the temperature rises. A throwaway layer may be beneficial during the pre-race wait.
