Course Adjustments! What’s the policy?
I have scanned the doc at
http://www.usatf.org/Products-...ols/Adjustments.aspx
But still have questions...
Here’s the case that just came up:
A new race wants to run a 5K. They happen to have a popular and recently certified 3 Mile exactly where they want their 5K. The RD states that he intends to “add footage” to the certified 3 Mile to create his 5K.
I was about to advise him that his new 5K would not be considered certified. But, am I correct in that prospective assertion? (I hope so!)
Personally, I would prefer that an entire new 5K course be measured, but from the RD’s perspective it is tremendously tempting to ask for an adjustment to the existing certified 3-Mile to create his 5K.
What do you think? Is a “Course Adjustment” a viable option in a case like this?
