Cold start — layer up, warming through the race

Runners will start in chilly 34°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temperatures rising to 48°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.
