Macavity - gotta ask what's your marathon running experience? why can't someone run a marathon for time on 18 weeks of training? the course being flat or hilly shouldn't matter because you should be training for the specific race you are running. in general very few marathons are not flat. boston with its "heartbrake hill" is still a downhill course overall.
OP - put the training in and go run the race that the day gives you. you can finish!

Only 1 marathon but was a Division 1 track athlete. I have several halves and other distance events under my belt.
Training depends on where you are. You can’t effectively train for a hilly course if you live in south Louisiana or Florida. When I was looking for a marathon to run, I found plenty that were hilly. Remember, you can train for the uphill on a treadmill, but the downhill is harder on you and harder to train for.

Hills aren’t a problem here in Birmingham.

I disagree about being able to effectivity train for "hilly" races in South LA and FLA. I don't think OP is considering the Inca Trail or Pikes Peak marathon but REMEMBER it is easier to simply say you can't do something than it is to put in the work doing it.

Why can't you train the downhill on a treadmill? Geniune question as my Nordictrac has decline on it. Is it just the thinking that most treadmills don't have decline?
