Course notes
2 short reads on the course
1km 0 to 42.2GradientTen metres from the lowest point to the highestThe lowest point and the highest differ by 10.6 m, and the start and finish are 0.1 m apart.
The start is 8.1 m above sea level and the finish 8.0 m. In between, the lowest point is 5.2 m
at km 38.3 and the highest 15.8 m at km 25.4, 10.6 m higher. Add up every small rise along the
way and the profile gives 29.1 m of climbing, but none of it stacks: the largest single climb
anywhere on the course is 10.0 m, from km 8.5 to km 25.4.
The organiser puts it as “only 38 turns and 10 meters of elevation gain along its route”. The
two figures describe the same course from two sides: ten metres is the difference between the
low and the high point, and the 29.1 m is every ripple added up.
