Runners will face a steady temperature rise from 54°F at the start to a peak of 63°F by finish, with average humidity at 75%. A tailwind will aid from miles 1 to 25, but a headwind will challenge runners during the final stretch. Given the mild conditions, hydration should be prioritized, especially as runners encounter the 177ft climb from mile 19 to 20.
