Runners will face a cool start at 48°F, gradually warming to 55°F by the finish. With a light tailwind throughout and humidity at 77%, pacing will be key, especially in the exposed sections between miles 26 to 27 where a headwind is expected. Hydration should be prioritized as temperatures rise, and runners may consider gear adjustments as they transition from the cooler start to warmer conditions in the valley.
