ELEVATION!
The highest point on the Boston Marathon is at the top of legendary Heartbreak Hill, right? Wrong!
At 490 feet the highest point is actually at the start in Hopkinton. After a mile into the race, you'll find yourself cruising along at 360 feet---that's a drop of 130 feet, the steepest downhill on the course.
