Mild start, warm finish ahead

Runners will face a temperature rise from 49°F at the start to a high of 72°F, making pacing adjustments essential. A breeze from the west will provide headwinds in the early miles, particularly from mile 1 to 4 and again at mile 13, which may slow runners down. With light rain expected, maintaining hydration is crucial, especially on the challenging climbs from mile 11 to 12 and 21 to 22.
