Leg 4 - 5.4 miles
The fourth leg of the 2022 RCM Relay is the longest and most physically demanding with several noticeable climbs - the total elevation gain for this leg is ~200ft. The first hill after crossing Sparkman onto Bradford will be the steepest, and there is another steep, but short hill at the entrance of the Botanical Gardens. On the flip side, this leg is potentially the most rewarding since it runs through the Space & Rocket Center and Botanical Gardens.
