Runners will face a cool start at 45°F, warming significantly to 67°F by the finish. A light tailwind is expected early on, but headwinds will challenge runners from miles 7 to 20. With moderate climbs and descents, especially the significant ascent from miles 11 to 14, pacing adjustments and hydration will be crucial as temperatures rise. Overall, runners should prepare for a warm finish despite the cool start.
