Certified Courses Measured by Coach Pimm

Jones Counter attached to wheel axle

 
​Coach Pimm has measured many courses for road race events (partial list below) according to the protocol required by Athletics Canada in order to approve a route for Course Certification. 

The measuring process involves using a Jones Counter, and the measurement data is reviewed and approved by Athletics Canada.  

Once the data is approved, a certificate with a course ID number is sent to the Race Director. 

You can hear Coach Pimm describe how a road race gets certified in the Audio for the Week of July 29/13 here. Or you can read the audio transcript here. 

And you may find this Canadian Running magazine article on this topic of interest. 
​
You can see a sample of a Measurement Certificate here.
