Reply to "Inconsistency on Course Certificate"

Just coming back to J.A. Wilhelm's point about having everything in meters or kilometers. I understand that the overall course length, elevation and start-finish straight line distance should be stated in meters. However, in my opinion it's crazy to do 1 km split points when measuring a metric (5K, 10K, 15K) course. I have yet to run in a US road race that offers km splits and I've run a bunch. So unless I'm missing something here, why go to all the extra work to do km splits to satisfy a regional certifier when RD's want mile splits?
