Course Elevation Profile

Cheetah Run 5k Road Race Course Elevation Profile

The course elevation profile above isn't quite as bad as it looks.


1) The presence of quite a bit of tree cover 'fools' Googlemaps into thinking that the tree tops is the road surface

2) The range illustrated below is between about 10 and 50 ft, and all climbs are gentle slopes, except for one short sharp incline
