Race Day Weather
Warm start, adjust pace early
Runners will face temperatures starting at 64°F and rising to 74°F during the race. Humidity levels at 65% may feel heavier, prompting a need for hydration. Light winds from the NNE at 9 mph may provide a slight cooling effect, but pacing should be adjusted conservatively to manage the warmth.
