Race Day Weather
Mild temps, watch the winds

Winds will be a factor, with a consistent headwind from miles 3-9 and 24-26, making those segments particularly challenging. Runners should adjust their pacing strategy for the headwind sections and take advantage of the tailwinds from miles 12-17 and 21-23 to regain speed.
