Cool and rainy, adjust pace accordingly
Runners will face temperatures starting at 53°F and gradually rising to 58°F by the finish. A moderate rain will likely persist throughout, with 0.11 in/hr expected, and humidity at 75% will make conditions feel damp. Wind from the south will create a tailwind for most of the race, but runners should be prepared for crosswinds during mile 5 and the final stretch. Adjust pacing strategies to conserve energy and stay hydrated.
