Event Rating System

Part 1 – INCLINE 
Part 2 - TERRAIN 
1.  Very small hills or very little stair climbing. Probably suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. Cumulative elevation gain from Starting Point: up to 200 feet.
A.  Almost entirely on pavement. 
2.  Some moderate hills and stair climbing. Probably suitable for strollers. May not be suitable for wheelchairs. Cumulative elevation gain from Starting Point: 200 - 1000 feet.
B.  A significant part of the route is on well-groomed trails with very few obstacles. 
3.  Some significant hill or stair climbing. Not suitable for strollers or wheelchairs. Cumulative elevation gain from Starting Point: 1000 - 2000 feet.
C.  A significant part of the route is on somewhat difficult terrain (rocky/rooted paths or soft sand).  
4.  Lots of significant hills or stair climbing. Cumulative elevation gain from Starting Point: 2000 - 3500 feet. 
D.  A significant part of the route is on very difficult terrain. 
5.  Many steep hills. Cumulative elevation gain from Starting Point: more than - 3500 feet.
E. The majority of the route is on very difficult terrain. 
When determining elevation gain, if a route goes up for 50 feet and down for 50 feet and back up for another 75 feet, the cumulative gain would be 125 feet.
  • A route that is mostly on flat pavement would be rated 1A.
  • A beach walk would be rated 1C.
  • A route with moderate hills on well groomed trails would be rated 2B.
