Brief Description of Course
Flat with a minor fall and rise on two underpasses, mostly through parkland.
(a) Terrain
(Flat/Undulating/Severe Hills/etc.)
The surface is on roads, footpaths and cycleways.
(b) Race Surface
(city streets/country lanes/paths/etc.;
amount off road e.g. on grass)
(c) Course Configuration
(single lap/multi lap/anti-clockwise/
out & back/point to point)
Two Lap route run anti-clockwise.
The first lap is 5.2 miles and the second the same with but with a small section
omitted of 0.4 miles.

the runners on the day of the race.
Pavements?
Whole road, path and cycleway throughout the route
(b) The line to be taken at right hand
turns.
Shortest line
(c) Any other information.
Runners must obey the marshalling instructions at all times.
This is a re-measure of the previous route due to the repositioning of a
footbridge.
I confirm that I have completed the measurement report of 16 pages consisting of this summary page, all data
sheets, the course map and sketches showing the exact position of the start and finish and I have sent copies to:
1.
SEAA Course Measurement Secretary, M.C.W. Sandford, 22 Stevenson Drive, Abingdon, Oxon, OX14 1SN. email:
[email protected] who will check the report, file it and issue a certificate of course accuracy.
2.
Race Director, who must use this report to lay out the course for the race, and carefully keep it for future years. It should be
shown to any official requiring details of the measured course.
3.
This summary page (only) must be sent to UKA – [email protected] to confirm the measurement has been
completed as required for the race permit.

Working Constant = Number of counts in 1 km or 1 mile, calculated from the pre-measurement average count, divided by the
calibration course length, and multiplied by the short course prevention factor of 1.001.
Working Constant:
18,030
Counts per

2. Measure the course, including all intermediate distances, using the Working Constant.
Record all data on the Course Measurement Data Sheet.

Finish Constant = Number of counts in 1 km or 1 mile, calculated from the post-measurement average count, divided by the
calibration course length, and multiplied by the short course prevention factor of 1.001.
Finish Constant:
18,027
Counts per
mile
The Constant for the Day = Either the Working Constant or the Finish Constant, whichever is the larger.
Constant for the Day:
18,030
Counts per
mile
Other than the larger constant
may be used if justified. In some
circumstances the average is more
appropriate. Give detailed reasons
if this is applicable.
Remember, each day’s measurement must be preceded and followed by a calibration run. You may measure as
much as you want in a day provided that calibration precedes it and follows it within the same 24 hour period. This
is done to minimise error due to changes in tyre pressure from thermal expansion and slow leakage. Frequent recalibration ‘protects’ the previous measurement. 1 mile = 1.609344 km
