Cork City Marathon Certificate Renewed
The Cork City Marathon Course Measurement Certificate has been
renewed by AIMS, who administer the certification, on behalf of AIMS
and the IAAF. The certificate is valid until the end of 2020, or until
the course route changes.
The course was measured on the morning of Sunday March 20th, by John
Quigley, AIMS/IAAF Grade B Measurer, assisted by a Garda
escort. The Garda escort was particularly welcome on the South
Link road, and on the Lower Glanmire Road /Tivoli Dual-Carriageway,
however Garda assistance was absolutely essential going through the
Jack Lynch Tunnel, where motorists, held up behind the squad and Garda
motorbike, were jockeying for position, like something straight out of
a Grand Prix start.

In all, the measurement took approx. 9 hours. The bike needs
to be calibrated both before and after measurement, to ensure that the
event is within tolerance. There is an allowable tolerance of 1 metre
per km of distance, so, in a Marathon, a total allowable variation of
42.2m
