Reply to "What to do when a race has an incorrect length in it's name?"

I thought we (almost) all agreed that the RRTC has no control over the name of the course or race? I also thought that (almost) all agreed that putting the actual measured distance on the map along with the effective dates was a good idea.

When we measure a 5 km, we actually measure 3.1068560 mi because it is easier, for us, than working in metric units. The submittal to the certifier always shows both units. However, we never call a 5 km a 3.1 mi race, many runners do.
