Course Registrar’s Report for 2007 (data as of 5/10/2008)
1576 new courses were certified this year (1438 in 2006)
We have a total of 11,508 active courses. All those courses have maps on the USATF website, with the exception of one track, which does not require a map for certification, and the Israel Solidarity Run in Chicago, in which case the organizers wanted the route kept secret.
Every state in the union has a course certified in 2007. One foreign course, as well, in Bermuda.
New measurers: 118, down from last year’s overly-optimistic 270 (due to a change in database and recording procedure).
Active measurers: 309.
Texas has the most active measurers, with 27.(New York had 31 in 2006). New York took second place with 22, followed by Florida with 21.
