Cool start, gradual warming

Runners will face a cool start at 36°F, gradually warming to 47°F by race end, with average humidity at 68%. Winds will vary, providing headwind in the early miles and tailwind during the later stages, particularly from miles 22 to 27. Pacing should be conservative initially, especially during headwind segments, while runners can take advantage of tailwinds in the final stretch for a strong finish.
