Warm start, tough finish ahead
Runners will face a challenging temperature rise from 74°F to 93°F, with humidity levels at 70% and a dew point of 73°F. Wind will be light at 6 mph with headwinds during Mile 2 and crosswinds in Miles 1 and 3-4, requiring runners to adjust pacing accordingly. To combat the heat, starting conservatively and increasing hydration frequency is essential, especially as temperatures peak in the later miles.
