It has been adjusted on Milesplit to a 3 mile rather than a 5k. I don’t know specifics, but I did see that it is now shown as a 3 mile.
1st- Troy is admitting the course was 200 meters short. This means for a conversion probably 40 seconds added onto the 15:50 runners and upwards to 2:00 for the slowest of runners.
2nd- Nothing is wrong with not running a 5k. In many states- New York, Illinois, and California a 3m course is accepted.
3rd- I have even seen some historic courses listed as 2.85. And that it OK.
4th- All I ask, and probably the public, is just post the correct distance. Let the public know ahead of time. If I were Troy I would keep it at 3 miles. This would be a novelty event and every year the kids run a 3-mile distance at ONLY this course.
