Last time I ran it it was mostly flat.
I think the course has altered slightly but the steepest bit is out the Portway (a gradual, barely discernible slope) and then it's a breeze running back down it. There was a killer hill round Castle Park which was probably only about a metre in length but it was near the end so it felt like a mile.

That's good to know, thank you.
As yet though I can't even manage a 6 mile run, so I'll have to see how my training goes...

I haven't even started yet.
Will start in June. Maybe.

Yes, but aren't you some kind of ex running ninja?

I'm just stubborn and refuse to stop once I've started.
That's the secret of long distance running. Works fine until you insist on running on a pulled muscle and end up with a stress fracture.
