Reply to "Certifying odd distances"

After discussing this with the measurer:

A) It was an out-loop-back that didn't have a turnaround point, so changing it wouldn't have been THAT easy, and

B) They wanted it to start and finish in front of the school and simply wanted it measured and the splits marked. They had apparently been running it on this course for a couple of years, and didn't want to change the course. Apparently it didn't draw from very far outside the immediate community.

I left the distance out of the course name (the course name was in two languages so it was too long for the blank on the certificate, anyway) and certified the distance as 5197 meters.

We can encourage race directors to run standard distances, but we can't force it down their throats. It's not our event. It's theirs.
