Cold start — layer up, warming through the race
Runners will start in chilly 35°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temperatures rising to 47°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 68% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.
