Race Day Weather
Cool start, warming finish
Runners will face a cool start at 37°F, gradually rising to 48°F by the finish. Light winds will be present, but they should not significantly impact performance. With humidity at 69%, it's advisable to start conservatively and hydrate frequently, especially as temperatures climb in the later laps. A throwaway layer may be useful during pre-race warm-up due to the chilly feel of 34°F.
