Reply to "Eliminate Expirations and Renewals"

I would change Jim's proposal to "A course certification expires after 10 years...". The course can still be used, but records would not be recognized.

If a race director decided to not get a new certificate, but everyone knew the course had not changed, everyone who has been involved in the race, whether runner or committee, would likely be accepting that the course is the correct length. However, our certificates indicate the length has been properly measured, and is the correct length. Since many courses change over 10 years, a 10-year expiration nudges the race director to have the course confirmed after 10 years. This is a reassurance to the runners that the course has indeed not changed, and they don't have to just take the race director's word for it.
