This course features rolling hills that might test your legs more than a flat marathon. Set against the backdrop of fall foliage, the scenery adds a layer of enjoyment despite the elevation changes.
BMQR course profile: Rolling Hills.
Focus on maintaining effort on the rolling hills, conserving energy on the descents and leveraging them to gain speed. Plan for slightly slower paces on the uphill sections to avoid burnout, but aim to push the pace on the flatter parts to make up time.
