Runners will face a temperature rise from 63°F at the start to 82°F by the end, with average humidity at 43%. A light wind at 5 mph will provide a tailwind in the early miles, but will shift to crosswinds and headwinds in the latter half. Adjust pacing strategies, particularly during the significant climbs from miles 2 to 3 and 8, and ensure hydration is prioritized throughout the race.
