* A USATF-certified course is a road race course whose distance has been certified for accuracy.
Courses must be certified for any road running performance to be accepted as a record or to be nationally ranked. Furthermore, running a race on a certified course allows participants to accurately compare their times to performances run on other certified courses because it verifies the distances are the same. No one can truly establish a personal best if the course distance is not accurate
