Runners will face a temperature rise from 53°F at the start to a warm 67°F by the finish, coupled with an average humidity of 75%. Wind will start as a headwind from the south, shifting to a tailwind between miles 5-9, then transitioning to crosswinds and back to headwinds in the latter segments. Runners should plan for pacing adjustments, particularly through the exposed sections with headwinds, and stay hydrated to counter the humidity.
