Ottawa Marathon 2013?

[phorunner]

I was thinking of doing this, and checked out the map on the site (http://bit.ly/QlDRoO). I plugged it into google maps (http://bit.ly/SUTx2l) and then tried to find the elevation and this is what I ended up with:



Locals - does that look about right?

I don't run in the big city enough to comment, but perhaps this might help: http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/69156802
From what I can tell, the 2013 proposed map appears to follow the same course.

Looks to me like you'd fall off a couple of cliffs on that route.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but that's pretty much flat. There's only about a 30 m difference between the highest and lowest points. If the course is the same as last year, there are a few rollers, but nothing major. It's not a hilly race.

Yes - the actual course is pretty flat. Your graph's scale makes it look like it has a bunch of steep hills, but it doesn't.

I was kidding- it's just that when you look at that chart, some of the lines are pretty much vertical, so it gives the impression of almost cliff like drops.

Indeed, but i had no concept of scale, so everyone's input was very much appreciated. Thanks guys!

Any locals willing to host?

I LOVE this race -- I will unfortunately not be able to run it next year -- "other plans", but it is a great, fast course -- a few rollers on the Quebec side, but nothing major - very scenic and friendly atmosphere!!

Are you looking for a place to crash? We can't come this far ahead, but, we always like hosting maniacs.

Ask again in a couple of months!
