Run For Your Life 4 Miler Course Profile
With the next Grand Prix race fast approaching, I pulled together my 2nd course profile. 
Below I have provided a course map and an elevation profile, but always check the RFYL site for the latest. My copies are totally unofficial.
If you are running this course for the first time or a veteran looking for some tips, here goes.
The course starts near the Dilworth Run for Your Life store. It is relatively flat for about ¼ mile before starting up hill. Be patient during this section or you will pay for it later. As you near the top and turn right, you will be tempted to surge. However, you shouldn't. With your next right, you will be on East Blvd. which is a nice long gradual downhill section. Here, you start to push the pace, but definitely, you should keep it controlled. With the next couple of rights, you will be making the Dilworth Loop.
This loop is deceivingly uphill along with a very slight uphill long stretch on Worthington. Here's where you are going to catch those people that went out too fast. Once you off Worthington and made the 2nd left onto Mc Donald Ave, it is time to totally open up the jets. No use in saving anything during this last mile. Stay motivated and try to catch the guy or guys in front of you.
Good Luck and see you there.
