Cool conditions, steady effort advised

Runners will face temperatures starting at 48°F and rising to a comfortable 61°F by the finish. With a max wind of 11 mph, there will be a mix of headwind, tailwind, and crosswind throughout the race, but runners should not feel a significant impact overall. The humidity at 68% may warrant a conservative approach early on, particularly in the later laps as temperatures climb.
