This is one case when cutting corners is a good thing!<br /><br />I will again say that this is one of the best local races I've found. It's very well run with a interesting course route. It's now one of the "must" races on my calendar.<br />- ERThe Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-45808559960144922082011-06-10T21:53:12.790-04:002011-06-10T21:53:12.790-04:00Congratulions on your new PR!
As one of the organ...Congratulions on your new PR!<br /> As one of the organizers of the NHP 8K, I was happy you enjoyed our race and we at the NHP Runners Club are very happy you return year after year!<br />Regarding your GPS measurements, You did run 5.05 miles (or something very close to that) and the NHP 8K course is exactly 4.97 miles. The course is certified and was measured by David Katz, the course measurer for the 2012 London Olympic Marathon. see http://www.flrrt.com/ The course is measured along what runners call the "Tangent". That means it is measured along the straightest line possible. It is measured inches from the curb, along the inside of curves and from one side of the street to the other, if that is the straightest line. No runner can run the exact distance the way the course is measured. Everyone running a race will run a little extra distance. In a marathon a runner will run about 27 miles, not the 26.2 measured distance.<br />I hope this will help clear up the gps mystery.<br />Again, we at the NHP Runners Club thank you for choosing our race and blogging about it.<br />We hope to see you again at next year's race.<br /> GregGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10666184092212810598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-57257453158906828022011-06-09T08:21:02.867-04:002011-06-09T08:21:02.867-04:00Paul, great meeting you as well.
