Hi AJ,
This is a very flat course. I have ran my 4 marathons (4/4 total) there,
and have enjoyed the experience, even though last year it was a bit of a
struggle for me.
Since you are local, I recommend training by actually running in the
towpath. Vertical Runner (a store in Hudson) has a running training group
that usually runs in the towpath every Saturday morning. Other running
groups run there too.
Good luck!
