Comfortable temps, big temp swing, moderate wind

Starting at 62°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temps will climb significantly to 83°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Moderate winds around 17mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course.

The course heads south from the museum to East Regis Street, follows it east past Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and returns the same way along the flat, open ground east of Interstate 27.
