Proposal 22: add 100km to section 4D.15.1 Distance Measurement for Traditional distances [ Revision 3 ]
Committee: RoadSubmitted on 2019-04-23
Status: Passed on May 09, 2019
Background
As 100km is approved as a road racing world record distance, it is essential that we add it to section 4D.15.1 Distance Measurement for Traditional distances. Currently it is listed in section 4D.15.2 as a non-traditional race distance where the course must be measured with an accuracy of plus or minus 3%. This is not enough accurate.
Proposal
Old rule:
4D.15 Race Distances and Distance Measurement
4D.15.1 Distance Measurement for Traditional Distances
In the case where a traditional race distance is used (such as 10k or Marathon – 42.195k), the course must be accurately measured along the shortest possible path. The course must be guaranteed to be no shorter than the advertised distance.
New Rule
4D.15 Race Distances and Distance Measurement
4D.15.1 Distance Measurement for Traditional Distances
In the case where a traditional race distance is used (such as 10k or Marathon – 42.195k, or 100k), the course must be accurately measured along the shortest possible path. The course must be guaranteed to be no shorter than the advertised distance.
Body
The proposal is based on discussion #58.
The rule does not require hosts to offer 100k at an event, however, if it is offered it must be measured accurately.
