Folks, The IAAF published a guideline regarding the accuracy of a calibration course. Here's the quote from page 13 of the IAAF " "THE MEASUREMENT OF ROAD RACE COURSES, Second edition, 2004, Updated 2008".

If the second measurement is significantly different to the first measurement, further measurements should be undertaken until reasonable agreement is reached. As a guide, a discrepancy of 5cm on a 500m calibration course would be regarded as a significant difference.

The key point here is the IAAF suggests a remeasurement if the two cal course measurements differ by more than 0.01%. Now, the USATF will suggest the same level of accuracy with our own calibration courses.

Thank you. -- Justin
