Reply to "How can I find the Calibration Course associated with a certified course?"

There is actually a 400m course in Central Park (probably the same location as the 1,000 footer) that was used for the Men's Marathon Olympic Trials as well as several other NYC courses. Dave Katz, Hugh Jones & I laid it out in 2007. The paperwork has never been filed, I guess.

A challenge with cal courses in NYC, in spite of its predominant grid-pattern of streets, is the constant traffic (24-7) and the frequent construction repaving. That pretty much limits you to parks or river esplanades, and the former usually have curving roads - the Central Park cal. course is by Engineers' Gate on the East side in the 90s, perhaps the only stretch of Central Park road long enough to accommodate a cal course.
