Toronto Marathon Elevation

Postby Double Bellybuster » Tue Apr 29, 2014 9:39 am

See the grid at the bottom - is the scale really skewed so that the Y-axis increments can be 5 or 25 metres or is the top of the course actually 200 and no 180 metres above sea level?

Thanks.

I think the grid is wrong: the elevation at the start is around 180-185m of elevation and ends at about 75m of elevation (according to gmaps), so the numbers on the left are right, but the increments for each grid are uneven.

Thanks. I concur, after posting the best info I could find suggested 182m start and 75m finish.

Unless you run it during an ice age and have a really slow time (isostatic rebound)...
It's a hill. Get over it!
