Plan your race.
Put in the time you want to run and this works out the pace and the splits to carry, and what the climbing on this course is likely to cost you.
A Half Marathon at 5:00/km finishes in 1:45:29, for a sense of scale.
The climbing, measured per kilometer.
Half MarathonFlat and Even
Under about 4 meters of climb per kilometer. Little enough to sit in the background, though on long distances the total still adds up.
Pacing. Terrain gives little back here, so pace comes down to your own judgment. Start at or under target effort, whatever the distance.
This profile comes from one number: total elevation gain for the distance, divided by its kilometers to give an average rate of climb. That average sets the band. There is no point by point elevation data behind it, so it cannot show where the climbing sits or how steep any single hill gets.
