Comfortable temps, warming through the race, rain likely

Starting at 64°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temperatures rising to 77°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Rain is likely — waterproof your phone and bib, and consider a disposable poncho for the corral. High humidity (88%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.

Race Info

It is a point-to-point course on a hard-packed dirt trail with some paved sections, and it descends gradually the whole way.
