Reply to "How much should one charge for measuring a course"

Early on in my measuring, I wanted to be of service to the sport and my running club. Ignoring the advice of my State Certifier I was working cheap and free fork & my club. I was asked to measure a "St Patty's" 8k and 15k course. In Ohio this meant riding in pretty cold weather. No problem, I was happy donating my time to the betterment of the sport & club. Running the 8k race the following year, I saw the T/A off by a quarter mile making the course 1/2 mile long. After that experience I charge every race as much as they can afford. This insures the race values my work and follows the certified route.
To date, I measure courses for servicemen memorial runs for free, but everybody else pays.
