Why are the MAPMYRUN course maps long?

Certified courses measure the shortest possible route

Race courses are certified using a calibrated bike (Jones Counter method) to hit exactly 13.1 miles on the most efficient path—think:

Tight tangents on every curve
Cutting corners legally
Straightest possible line start to finish

GPS apps aren’t perfectly precise

Apps like MapMyRun rely on GPS, which can drift:

Tall buildings, trees, or tunnels = signal bounce
Turns get “rounded out” instead of sharp
Small errors stack up over 13+ miles

Even a tiny 1–2% error can add 0.1–0.3 miles.

The Run Madtown Twilight 5K, 10K and Half Marathon courses are all USATF Certified.

PACERS

The OnPace pace groups will be clearly labeled in the starting corrals. Once participants find the appropriate corral they will queue up for the start. All Pacers will be in the appropriate corral by 6:45 a.m.

The 10K and half marathon courses are the same until mile 2.8 10K participants are invited to use the pace team for the first 2.8 miles of the course.
