Nomeo Aug 2017 9:00pm, 8 Aug 2017 First-time poster!!	0 Nomeo Hi there, I'm doing the New Forest Marathon on 10 September and I'd like to see how hilly the route is. I can't find the course profile on the website other than the video and a map. I thought I'd seen it before... does anyone know where I can find it?? Thanks

I recall there being a few undulations. One in particular from 2010 was run in reverse in 2011. Hills aside, I found it a really nice run and hope to go back again soon. I found getting out of the New Forest and back onto the motorway almost as challenging as the marathon itself. I'm intrigued to see how the new start/finish location and course fare to that used previously.
