My forth Marathon. Part IV (a)
There are not many hills in
the Piter. Total elevation during the course was, I think, no
t 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 many supporters. Of course
, somewhere in some places people were standing along the streets, cheering
up us on and high
-fiving us but not
so much nearly as many as
it had been there were 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?
