The course, kilometre by kilometre
Start and finish are 169 metres apart: the ORRRC Marathon is a loop.
Highest and lowest point are 84 metres apart, and start and finish are at practically the same height.
The race is held in Xenia, United States, in April, on tarmac throughout.
Elevation gain and climbs
142 metres up and 150 down across 1 climbs worth the name. No single one decides the race; the sum of them does.
The hardest stretch runs from km 11.6 to 12.1: 11 metres at 2.4 % on average. It comes early enough to take on fresh legs.
Against a 3:30 target the terrain costs about 1 minute compared with a flat loop. Adjust for gradient and what remains is what the legs actually paid.
