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

When we measure a course for certification, we also (as required) make a map. The title block that we put on the map is required to contain certain information; date measured, measurer's name and email, elevations and separation. I always add the measured distance. If a race director names the 5K race "the Flatburg Marathon", my title block would read as follows:
The Flatburg Marathon
Flatburg, CA
5K (3.1068560-Mi)
Etc.

My earlier suggestion was that the map also contain the certified distance in the area where the certifier adds the USATF symbol and effective dates.

I feel that my responsibility for truth in advertising is met.
