I’m relaying SavageMan and was curious if anyone had a run course profile or knew how tough the course is. If you have tips on where to train similar hills in NoVA, that’d be great too.
Thanks.
Info on the run course:

Here is someone’s writeup of their experience with the run course. My experience is that it’s not so brutal as he makes it out to be, but it’s certainly not a fast, easy course.

If you’re looking for a similar hill to train, find something about 2 miles long and 550 feet elevation gain. That’s a good hill, but certainly no mountain. In DC, I’d run up Loughboro from Macarthur to Foxhall, that’s a pretty good approximation.
