Who Uses the USATF Course Map Site?

Katie at the USATF National office was kind enough to generate a few statistics on our map download page usage.

It looks like the maps were downloaded 146,509 times between September 1, 2008 and December 15, 2009. Visitors downloaded 4,422 different maps.

Thank you. -- Justin

Justin,

Thanks for the stats!

From what I see, I interpret it to mean we have 3,676 unique visitors each month, searcing for course maps. And, it appears that they looked at 8,624 maps each month, meaning they looked-up more than one coure map each visit.

These stats tell me that the effort we expend to post the maps is worth it. Many people visit the site each month, and look at lots of maps. That means there is awareness out there about certified courses, which is a great thing!

Keep up the work, Pete, as others appreciate your efforts.

Credit for getting the information should go to Justin. I didn't do doodley.

I admit to some confusion as to what the various numbers mean, but it does look as though we are not laboring in obscurity.

I get the call from time to time "the course map is not on line yet so can you send me a copy?"

As word gets around, more and more runners especially elite runners want to know what the course looks like. It's definitely worth it.
In the near future it will be expected.
