I have come across this logo several times, recently. Is it an offical USATF/RRTC logo? If so, what are the terms/conditions of its use? Where can I find an original file?
Thanks.

Several months ago I was contacted by the race director of a 5k charity race who was inquiring about certification. It's a small race and I could tell right away that money was an issue. I gave him a significantly reduced price quote to measure the race and have it certified. He said he would let me know.
As I was looking at the local race calendar a few weeks ago I noticed a listing for the event which provided "NEW USATF CERTIFIED COURSE." I emailed the race director to let him know that I noticed the listing and to ask him if he wanted the course measured/certified. He said that they didn't have the money. The race is Sunday and the listing still has the same false representation in it.
Should I contact the race director and tell him to fix his misleading advertisement immediately, or should I just let it go.
I certainly would (and have) contact the race director and ask him to remove any reference to their course being USATF certified.
I just sent this to the race director. If it sounds a little angry it’s because I am.“The internet page that advertises this race claims that the course is USATF certified. We both know this is false and as such you are knowingly misleading the public. It must be immediately removed.”
