HTC NEWS 211 - 45 ALABAMA CERTIFIED COURSES
By John DeHaye, USATF/RRTC Alabama Course Certifier § Alabama had a total of 508 USATF certified active courses on September first of 2013. This includes 484 road and 24 calibration courses. That is a big growth from the 2010 total of 388. Last year set a record pace for new courses with 80 certificates issued and I ex- pect a similar number this year. The table shows the active Alabama road courses sorted by city. An active USATF course is one that has not exceeded its ten-year life and has no physical changes that alter the measured route. As you would expect, the larger cities have the most courses, but there are many smaller towns that are also involved in the running and racing movement. Additional information and course details are available at the USATF/RRTC web site, www.rrtc.net. This includes the listings of the calibration, expired and deleted courses and information on the course measurer and map. The web site also provides information for planning a race with a certified course. This includes a list of the active measurers with their contact information and a list of their courses with the associated map.

Compiled and Maintained by Buck Jones § CRITERIA: Criteria for a state record include the following: (1) Alabama resident (2) U.S. citizen (3) Race run in Alabama (4) Certified courses. BIRTHDATES: Anyone noting their name in the state record listings, please call or write if I show no birth date for you. CHANGES: Potential changes to this list or any future list are welcome, just call or write me at the phone- address listed below. HELP: Race Directors, Club Board Members, and Runners, help me a little and I will be able to provide you with accurate state records.

P - Pending Record, birthdate/hometown required within 6 months of race date or will be dropped. a - Point to Point Course, better than State Record but not eligible for State Record. * - Non U.S. Citizen, better than the State Record but not eligible for a State Record. # - Best Time for Distance-Sex on Point to Point Course. T - Tie performances for same age.
RACE DIRECTORS: Race directors please note the following information if you have a certified race. On your race results I need individual ages, not just by age groups. Also I need the home town listed, in order to confirm the runner is an Alabama resident. Without the above I can't use the results, unless the runner is well known to me. I do need birthdates for record holders and would suggest that all race directors add a place on the entry forms. I would not expect birthdates to be added to the race results but they would be available should I or USATF Road Running Information Center need them. USATF RRIC is the national data center for long dis- tance road-track racing, having taken over from the NRDC. I will process all Alabama race results as the state record keeper through to USATF RRIC.
NOTE: Birth dates are still required for an age record, however those dates are no longer being published.
