It's a great race, but no lie, you need to be well-trained for it in order to finish. And as a flatlander you have an even harder time of it especially in the miles near the summit. I think you'd want your marathon time better than 6 hours, or you would risk missing the cut-offs.
Still, it's a great race, and in the last few years it's filled very quickly when registration opens on June 1st.
