Cool start, warming finish

Runners will face a gradual temperature increase from 45°F at the start to 58°F by the finish. With light winds from the SE, a tailwind will assist through Miles 1-7, but a headwind will challenge runners from Miles 8-13. As temperatures rise, it’s advisable to start conservatively to manage the heat and humidity, ensuring hydration is prioritized throughout the race.
