Race Day Weather
Moderate temps, cautious hydration needed
Runners will face a temperature range from 56°F at the start to 66°F by the finish, with humidity hovering around 85%. Light rain is likely, so staying hydrated is crucial, especially during the warmer late miles. A headwind will challenge runners from miles 13 to 26, requiring strategic pacing adjustments to conserve energy. Pre-race feels like 55°F may warrant a light throwaway layer.
