Cold start — layer up, big temp swing, moderate wind

Runners will start in chilly 38°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temps will climb significantly to 56°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Moderate winds around 15mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course.
