Reply to "How Long Is Too Long?"

We're measuing the course to ensure it's at least the advertised distance and not shorter than that. I typically tell people if you're going to make a mistake on your course layout, it needs to be the mistake of being "a bit" long.

Having said that I don't think it's a great idea to call a 6k race a 5k either. If the course measures 6k, the certificate of measurement should say that.

If the RD chooses to call it a 5k anyway that's their right, let them receive the wrath of the runners when they figure out why their times are so slow, and that won't take long....
