Runners will face a cool start at 48°F, gradually warming to 49°F by the finish. Wind will be a factor, with a headwind from the W during miles 2-3, followed by a tailwind from miles 5-7. Given the rolling course, runners should conserve energy on the climb from mile 2 to 3 and take advantage of the descent from mile 5 to 6 for faster paces.
