It is relatively flat. There is a short climb just as you come into Montecito, then a few longer ones after the 2nd rest stop. I'm no speed demon and wasn't pushing hard at all and even I finished in 6:30 (butt time).

Warning! They had a huge lunch spread mid-way through...lots of food and tables and I had to struggle to avoid chowing down and taking a nap! There I was working my Sustained Energy drink for hours and suddenly faced with a buffet! I passed on most of it but made up at the excellent meal they provided at the finish!
