Runners will face a starting temperature of 54°F, rising to 63°F by the finish, with humidity at 75%. A tailwind will assist from miles 1 to 25, but runners should prepare for a headwind during the final stretch. Hydration will be key, particularly during the climbs around miles 19-20, and pacing should be adjusted as temperatures increase.
