Ted Corbitt, the father of modern course certification in this country, would have been 94 today. I was honored to have met this true gentleman (who was also one of this country's great marathon and ultra runners) and to have helped sort through and pack his apartment after his death. There are at least 15 legal size boxes filled with certification paperwork in the New York Road Runners warehouse in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn. It's time to start going through them and culling out the significant elements.
