Cool start, gradual warming

Runners will face temperatures starting at 47°F and rising to 52°F by race end. With a maximum wind of 12 mph from the WNW, conditions will feature moderate crosswinds throughout. Humidity is at 64%, which may feel uncomfortable for some; adjusting pace and hydration early in the race will be crucial. A light rain is possible pre-race, so a throwaway layer might be wise for the wait.
