On race morning, temperatures are expected to hover in the low teens with minimal humidity and a gentle breeze at 3.9 mph. While rain is unlikely given December's weather patterns, it’s wise to check updates closer to the event date for any last-minute changes. The course offers no aid stations, keeping things streamlined.
