Accurate measurement for all your races

Welcome to the home page of the Association of UK Course Measurers (Scotland). This is the primary source of information for race organisers and runners on road-race measurement in Scotland. 

If you are staging a road-race in Scotland and it is advertised as being of a specific distance, you need to get it measured in order to obtain a race licence from Scottish Athletics. We can measure your race, using World Athletics approved methods, and provide a Certificate of Course Accuracy that will enable you to obtain a licence.

Runners need, and are entitled, to know that  the race they enter is of the advertised distance.

Providing accuracy for your race

The Association of UK Course Measurers (Scotland) is dedicated to providing precise and dependable road-race measurements. With our expertise, we ensure, as far as possible, that every race meets the required standards, contributing to fair play and accurate results for athletes and organisers alike.

All of our measurers are accredited to provide measurements to the standards required by World Athletics.

Ensuring every step counts

We are the only provider of road race measurement services based in Scotland. Our approach guarantees that your race meets the highest standards of accuracy. 

Measurers based in England and Wales (or, indeed, overseas) can also provide measurement services.

We are part of the national structure of the Association of United Kingdom Course Measurers (AUKCM).  We aim to provide a focus on practice and procedures in Scotland as well as being a source of information on events in Scotland.

We welcome comments and suggestions on what runners and race promoters would like to see us include on this website.

Please note that we only issue Certificates of Course Accuracy for events staged in Scotland under licence from Scottish Athletics or the Association of Running Clubs.
