Runners will face a comfortable start at 58°F, gradually warming to 78°F by the finish. With light SSE wind and 46% humidity, conditions remain manageable throughout. The first mile features a beneficial tailwind, but runners should prepare for headwinds around mile 6 and at the end. It's advisable to adjust pacing conservatively early to combat the heat later in the race.
