Runners will face a temperature rise from 58°F at the start to 78°F by the finish, with average humidity at 46%. A light tailwind will assist from miles 1-2, 4-5, and 10, but headwinds will challenge runners from miles 6, 15, and 18. To manage the warming conditions, adjusting pace conservatively in the initial miles and focusing on hydration will be key for maintaining stamina.
