Climbing

At 1598m of total climbing, it is hillier than 97% of the 860 marathons we rate. The hills will cost time: pace the climbs on effort, not on the watch. It runs at altitude (up to about 1076m), where thinner air slows most runners who live near sea level.

Surface

Trail: expect unpaved footing (dirt, gravel or forest paths), which our model counts as slower than road for the same climbing. Trail shoes with grip are worth it.
