How hilly is 'hilly'? This would be my second half marathon. I found the first one really tough despite all my training - the Robin Hood Half in Nottingham. That one wasn't even marked as hilly but it certinally wasn't flat. Any advice anyone - is this one suitable for my second?

in to bikehike.co.uk and it looks like there are two main hills each of around 200ft, one right at the start and one at around 7 miles.
I *think* those might be metres...

I'm interested in this event too!! Is it well marshalled?!
Cheers
I LOVE this race....I have run every one with the exception of last year due to a stress fracture. This year I will be back!
Totally agree about there being two main hills, and I think it is a reasonably quick course, as the downs tend to be long so you can make up some time. It was my PB course until earlier this year.
I also think it is very well organised etc etc and the chappie (whos name I forget) who always does the banter before the start on a step ladder is BRILLIANT!
For infor - they also do a 1 mile race next month
