Runners will face temperatures starting at 60°F and rising to 73°F, with humidity at 66%. A light headwind at 9 mph will be present throughout, but it won't significantly impact pacing. Competitors should start conservatively and monitor hydration closely as the heat increases, especially in the later laps. Pre-race conditions will feel cooler, so a throwaway layer may be beneficial before the gun.
