2010 quad cities marathon elevation chart

Someone asked about elevation on the Quad Cities Marathon.  There appears to be no chart on the website, sooo...here is a GPS plot of the 2010 course. Yes, a marathon is 26.2 miles.  I didn't shut off the Garmin at the end of the race.


The data is not smoothed, massaged or altered in any way, but you get the idea.  Flat as a pancake except for - I-74  Bridge (mile 1), up the hill in Bettendorf (mile 2-3) and Centennial Bridge (mile 10).
