Cool temps, light rain threat

Runners will face temperatures starting at 51°F and peaking at 65°F, with average humidity at 66%. Light rain is a possibility but should not significantly impact conditions. A headwind will challenge runners from miles 1-3 and again from 5-8, while tailwinds from miles 6-7 and 16-18 will provide some relief. Adjust pacing strategies to conserve energy during headwind sections, especially on the climbs.
