My forth Marathon. Part IV (a)
There are not many hills in the Piter. Total elevation during the course was, I think, not more than 100 meters. The city is located on the banks of the Neva River. There are a lot of channels, embankments and bridges in Piter. Running along the embankments is quite boring. I was surprised that there were not so much supporters. Of course somewhere people were standing along the streets, cheering up and highfiving us but not so much as it had been in Moscow in 2015.

* Nice work! An interesting discussion on "no more" vs "not more"- http://ask.metafilter.com/95640/No-more-than-vs-not-more-than
Since you're not sure about the elevation of the course, I would probably choose "no more", because it's less specific and certain as a phrase.
* Perhaps you can try longer sentences? For example you said that "running along the embankments is boring". You could add "because there isn't much..." + flowers, changes in landscape, people?
