Mild temperatures, wind challenges ahead

Runners will face temperatures starting at 50°F and rising to 53°F, with a light chance of rain. Wind will be a factor, with a maximum of 12 mph from the WSW, creating headwind challenges in segments 6, 10, and 27. With high humidity at 81%, it's advisable to adjust pace accordingly, especially in the early miles where the tailwind may help, but to be cautious of the wind later on.
