I've run most of the route (all of it except the bit on the start/finish field) with a GPS and recorded the height profile, which looks something like:



Clearly you have to allow for the vagaries of GPS height measurement since the out and back part of the course isn't symmetrical here and some of the inclines appear more dramatic than they really are.

The total rise and fall of the route is about 600 feet - so it's probably not a course for a PB but it is a great run.
