Mild temps, shifting winds

Runners will face temperatures starting at 55°F and finishing at 61°F. Wind will shift from tailwind in Mile 1 to headwind in Mile 5, with a max of 13 mph, potentially affecting pacing. With humidity at 67%, maintaining hydration is essential, especially during the headwind sections from Miles 5 and 21. Runners should plan for a conservative start and adjust their pace as conditions change.
