How long is the hill at mile 15?

posted over 2 years ago | Report

Hi to all, I have signed up to run the VC Marathon on May 30th.
I have read so much about the infamous hill/climb called the "Assault on Battery" I believe it is around mile 15.
Does anyone know how long the actual climb is, in /miles.
Thanks.

    It's about a 1/4 mile.

    Thanks Ryan. I don't see what the big deal is?
    Than again, I haven't run a marathon, so I guess at mile 15, a steep climb of any length is daunting.

    It's steep but doable.

    It's a tough hill, definitely - but with the drummers and all the support from everyone, it's manageable. Just keep going :-D
