The MapMyRun profile I found is here:
mapmyrun.com
(look for a little tick-box for "show elevation").

This reckons the total elevation gain to be about 880ft, but I suspect this is a gross underestimation as these profiles seem to be over-smoothed (e.g. miles 7-11 of their Coniston 14 profile appears much flatter than it really is). I've no idea how the elevation profiles on there are generated.

On the other hand, elevation profiles from a Garmin (like DaveA and eL Bee's?) tend to be more erratic than reality in my experience. So the truth probably lies somewhere between the two?

PJL - my elevation profile comes from Memory Map - not a garmin

I'll measure the total elevation with my Suunto when we run the course in a couple of weeks.

Going down is great - open up the stride behind, lean forward & fly :-) Aeroplane arms & noises optional (unless you're Barking)

880ft is nothing PJL - if only that were correct!

Will be really interesting to see what the Suunto says el Bee.

I know that the Garmin usually overestimates the gain/loss for my usual runs.
