Race Day Weather
Warm start, adjust for humidity
Runners will face a steady 67°F throughout the race with high humidity at 86%. A SW wind at 11 mph will provide a tailwind in Mile 1 but transition to headwinds in Miles 5 and 8-10, which may slow pace. Given the warm and humid conditions, it's advisable for runners to start conservatively and focus on hydration to maintain performance.
