What if my Garmin, iPod, Smart device, is slightly more than the official race distance?
On race day, if the distance shown on your devise is slightly more than the official race distance, it just means you weren’t cutting corners—quite literally. According to the IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federation) course measurement guidelines (pg. 20), a road race course is defined by the shortest possible route a runner could take without being disqualified. After the race, if your device shows that you ran a little farther, this just accounts for extra steps you took to run around other participants, obstacles, hit a water stop, port-o-let or stayed to the middle or outside lane.
What if my Garmin, iPod, Smart device, shows a slightly different time than the official race time?
How accurate your Garmin can be is affected by trees, cloud cover, mountains nearby, etc. so go on your chip time when racing. The main reason your Garmin will register a different time from race time is due to auto pause or signal dropout. If you lose reception time will still move on but your moving time may differ. If you look at your data you will see 3 records of time – Time, Moving Time & Elapsed time. To sum up; if you are doing a race, it matters not what your Garmin says, your race time is as per the chip – in the same vein as the Umpire’s word is final.
Are strollers, baby carriers or baby backpacks allowed on the Half Marathon and Marathon course?
No. Due to safety concerns, we cannot allow strollers or baby carries of any sort on the course.
