COURSE CERTIFICATION

The Union Home Mortgage Cleveland Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and 5K courses are certified each year according to USATF standards, using a bike equipped with a calibrated measuring wheel and following the shortest possible route (tangents). Additional distance discrepancies are caused by the actual route run on the course and the accuracy of individual GPS units being used by runners.
