Runner's Forum: Surf City Half-Marathon

Hey,

I want to run a half marathon in Jan. or Feb. that's relativity  close to me. This is probably the closest, the half-marathon in Huntington Beach on Feb. 1. The half marathon course details says the highest steep is 6% and I want to ask others here how high that really is.Has anyone here ran that course?

I've never ran a half-marathon before and I figured that almost 5 months is enough time for me. So I'll be a newbie to half-marathons and I'm not exactly sure how hard a 6% increase would really be.
