Certificates of Course Accuracy

A course measurement carried out by a qualified AUKCM measurer is valid for 10 years, provided that there are no changes, including the route and the start/finish arrangements.

For each running of a race a Certificate of Course Accuracy will be issued. The Certificate of Course Accuracy is valid only for the race held on the date or dates specified.

The race director must consult the measurement report and lay out the course exactly as described by the measurer.

If there are changes to the start/finish, the route, the section of road/pavement available to runners, or the marshaling on corners then a measurer must be contacted in good time so that he can make any remeasurement/adjustments which are necessary. In the event of changes, a new Certificate of Course Accuracy will then be issued after receipt of the course measurer's report.

If the course is EXACTLY the same, then a Certificate may be renewed for subsequent race dates up to the 10th anniversary of the original measurement date.
