Jim Gerweck has brought up an interesting point. Some of our Certifiers state the distance as a term. That is they say Half Marathon or Marathon instead of saying the actual distance -> (21.0975km or 42.195km).
I have suggested to those that do this to please place the actual distance on the Cert. How many times do we hear that I ran a 5k and they feel it's 3.1 miles.
