Runners will face a cool start at 42°F, gradually warming to 54°F by the finish. With a light headwind throughout, particularly challenging from miles 1-9 and again from 11-27, pacing adjustments may be necessary. Humidity is moderate at 65%, so hydration should be prioritized. As temperatures rise, adjusting pace conservatively in the early miles will help maintain energy for the later stretches.

This course drops 1,020 ft from start to finish, so we forecast it at 2 points, not just the start line. At 9:00/mi, you start at 40° and finish around 11:25 AM in 54°; the start line's forecast says 46° then.
