The USATF certified marathon course is slightly downhill overall. From the start runners go downhill for five miles plus, then it's a roller-coaster through 15 miles with plenty of climbs. From there you go downhill for a stretch then hit another notable long incline peaking at mile 21, then mercifully you cruise downhill to the finish.
