Course format

City race with mixed terrain

Surface, footing, and terrain changes are likely to matter more than one exact split-by-split route line.

Elevation profile

Mixed terrain profile

Footing and climbing matter here more than one exact elevation number, so plan for effort swings.

Pressure point

Crowded opening miles

Getting clear road early can matter as much as fitness, so wave position and patience both shape the outcome.

Weather bias

Usually weather-dragged

Typical starts are around 46F, so even manageable mornings can still get more expensive later.
