Reply to "Half Marathon Twice = Marathon?"

Justin & Jay: I think you're advice is good but, in this case the course isn't a loop or an out and back. It can't be recertified as a full marathon without adjusting the start and finish. The race director and police want the finish where it is.

Again, would the RRTC endorse using 2consecutive fund of the half marathon course, with a 170-ft walk between them, as a Boston qualifier? I realize the RRTC does not make the final decision on Boston entries, but would this run-twice scheme be endorsed as meeting the marathon distance. This is all theoretical. I wouldn't expect Boston to consider the idea as a floodgate of this kind of multiple course runs would result
