Key elements of a USATF-certified mile include:

• The Measuring Method: Courses are measured using a calibrated bicycle equipped with a mechanical counter called a "Jones Counter," rather than consumer GPS devices, which often overestimate distance.

• Guaranteed Accuracy: An official "short course prevention factor" is added to the measurement to ensure runners never run less than a full mile.

• Official Records: To set American records, qualify for elite rankings, or reliably compare personal bests across different events, the race must take place on a USATF-certified course.

Getting a course certified provides an official Course ID and ensures you can trust your finish time down to the second. (which we did!)

A Runner’s Mind, the Bay Area’s local run specialty store, was founded in 2010 on our love of running and walking, a commitment to our community, and our passion for superior service. Above all, we understand that all who run, walk, participate in athletics, or maintain an exercise regimen deserve a place where they can come together to celebrate being active and receive and share expertise about everything from running gear to cross-training to nutrition.

As the official retail partner of the Maurten Mile, participants can pick up Maurten products and Bicarb at either the San Francisco or Burlingame location.
