Runners will face mild temperatures starting at 55°F, gradually warming to 59°F by the finish. A steady crosswind at 16 mph will challenge runners from miles 3-8 and 10-15, while headwinds will affect the final miles. With humidity at 65%, pacing adjustments may be necessary, especially in the later stretches. Runners should consider a light layer for the wait, as it feels cooler at 53°F.
