Comparing Merthyr and Jersey parkruns
This chart shows the elevation comparing both parkruns against each other in their literal, above sea level terms.
Normalised Comparison
With this variation of the chart we normalise the chart so that the start line is at the same level, this way you can compare the two parkruns in an alternative way.
Bottomed out Comparison
The below charts move the lowest point to the bottom so you can compare in another way.
Sorted Comparison
Finally the below chart sorts all of the elevation data to give you a rough indication of the change in elevation you'll be. Typically if one line is steeper than the other, the steeper parkrun might be more of a challenging run.
