Reply to "The word Replace on a Certificate."

jimgerweckMember

I agree with Duane 100%. I have worked with a couple races here that have changed their courses on an almost yearly basis (well, not quite, but it seems that way). And at least one has reverted to TWO of the previously certified routes.

In all of these cases, I have NEVER checked the "Replaces" box on the cert - I see little benefit, and a greater potential for harm, when doing so.

My feeling is it should be removed from the certificate form. And I'm not sure what benefit is derived from substituting an "Unusable" field. If the course is indeed unusable due to construction or act of God, the race organizers certainly know that. Is that something that helps the average runner? I don't believe so, and it creates more work and the possibility of error and inaccuracy for us.
