Bike course and Run Course Elevation Review
Okay, as always – time to review elevation gain data after the race. I wanted to know more than just who won, so I did a deep dive on Strava.
As always – randomly picked 20 athletes who did the race and stalked their profiles (don’t judge, we all do it). I wanted to see the course elevation, what kind of gear they used, basically get inside their heads a bit. To equally represent all athletes – I’ve selected 10 male and 10 female athletes across most of the age groups.
Bike Course Elevation / Meters
Official elevation gain information for the bike course provided by event organizers is 471 meters. The Strava sample range revealed elevation gain between 323 and 554 meters.
