Cool start, steady climb ahead

Runners will face a temperature increase from 50°F at the start to 64°F by finish, with an average humidity of 63%. A light N wind at 11 mph may create some variability, but its impact is minimal given the flat course. As temperatures rise later in the race, maintaining hydration and adjusting pace conservatively will be crucial for optimal performance.
