SCPF on a straight course

I have a hypothetical question. Is there a need or requirement to use the short course prevention factor of 1.001 on a straight as an arrow, out and back, 5k or 10k course on an eight foot wide recreational trail?

It seems that there would be no possibility for a runner to cut corners to make the course shorter and that using the prevention factor would absolutely make the course long.
