In October last year I came across a late December 5 km race advertising it was using a certified course. Having measured a couple of 5 km’s in the very same location the race was held, both finished on the high school track. If the race was using either previously certified course the school track was very likely to be covered in snow. I did not find a new listing on the Course List. So I contacted the race director.
The race director understood from the measurer his course was certified – he paid the measurer a month before his event in 2012. Asked if he received a Measurement Certificate and pointed him to the online listing. So I urged him to contact the measurer to finalize the certification submission for approval.
The measurer never completed the certification work prior to the 2012 event, and now the 2013 event. 14 months have passed since the measurer was paid and said he completed the course measurement.
The course remains NOT certified. The measurer has now promised to get the work done in 2014 when the weather cooperates.
What do you do?
