Reply to "How Long Is Too Long?"

It is beyond our authority to require a particular name for a race. It is definitely within our authority to require that the name at the top of the certification map and the name on the certificate agree with the measured length of the course. You can call your race whatever you want. You can't put whatever you want at the top of a certification map.

One argument for allowing some wiggle room is that we don't really know if the course is 5003 meters or 5000 meters. Our methodology is not that accurate.

But I agree with your argument that the wiggle room we allow to still say the length of the course is 5000m should be small. I don't think 2xSCPF is too small. But even if the measured length of the course is 5030m, maybe we should still allow the name at the top of the map to include 5k. If the measured length of the course is 6000m we should not allow the name at the top of the map to include 5k. Where do we draw that line?
