Runners will face a temperature rise from 63°F at the start to a high of 82°F by the finish, with average humidity at 43% making for a comfortable yet warming day. A light tailwind will assist during the early miles, but headwinds from miles 6 and 18 will require pacing adjustments. Hydration should be prioritized, especially as temperatures peak, with the toughest conditions expected during the climbs from miles 2 to 3 and 8.
