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

alanaveryMember

Whenever someone balks at the prices I set, I explain that:
1) The cost works out to about 1.5 to 2 entries per year over the 10-year lifetime of the course.
2) People that are interested in getting accurate feedback about their fitness will choose a race that has an accurate course of known distance, all other things being equal.

For those who wonder why they should get the course certified, I ask them:
Why would you give potential customers a reason NOT to run your race by not having an accurate course?
