Gps Short Course
Did anyone measure the exact distance of the Race For Life 10k in Edinburgh on 19 June 2011?
I’ve heard the course fell short of a full 10k and wondered if anyone with a garmin/gps could give me a more accurate measurement.
GPS and other measurements like that can be up to 5% different from reality. So 10k could be 500m different from the real distance.
The next point is that with road races, it is very hard to get exactly 10km race because of the way roads are, and the need to close roads to accurately measure the shortest possible route. Last thing is of course that runners rarely take the ultimate shortest route but that would make their measurement go over the distance.
however it will have been as near to 10k to be counted as a 10k run
