Runners will face temperatures starting at 44°F and rising to 70°F, prompting a conservative pacing strategy early on. Wind will shift from a tailwind in the first half to headwinds from miles 7 to 21, which will challenge runners on the exposed stretches. Hydration should be prioritized as the humidity is moderate at 53%, especially during the climbs from miles 1-6 and 11-13.
