While our 1k, 5k and 10k courses are not officially certified they are measured using the same exacting methods and are accurate.
Course Certification is a process by which a course is measured according to international standards and the measurement data is reviewed by a recognized certifier. Once the data is verified and accepted, a certificate with a course ID number is sent to the measurer, who then forwards a copy to the race director.
Certified Marathon Courses: The Boston Marathon requires qualifying times that are obtained on a certified course. The national course registrar sends the list of certified courses to the BAA which then accepts applicants based on the information it receives.
