First, for us to decide how many meters over a certain length (like a 5 km) would it be considered to be called a 5 km is not for us to decide. The course distance on the measurement certificate is the distance as measured.
Hence, take a 5 km race and it’s measured at 5.001 km then the Certifier should place 5.001 km as the course distance on the Certificate not 5 km. Certifiers would make sure of the following: for metric races km would be used (not m or meters) and for imperial distances mi. would be used (not ft.).
Hence, Certifier’s should encourage a meaasurer to make sure an event is measured at the advertised distance.
