Because most runners don't follow the racing line and a course correction factor to make sure the course can't be short, most GPS watches should read in the region of 5.05 miles. 5.07 doesn't sound excessive. I checked the course on MapMyRun this morning and it came out at 5.07 miles although that is a very crude method.<br /><br />5.1 miles does sound a bit excessive although not if it was from just one watch. Distances on GPS watches are not exact.John Desmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02156613639160765654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8822939107376321662.post-24410405653709424862016-05-24T06:09:55.116+01:002016-05-24T06:09:55.116+01:00Totally agree with above comments.

My garmin covered 5.07 miles and in all my years of running, I have never gone over .02 of a mile in the overall distance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8822939107376321662.post-17366713284938461512016-05-23T22:22:40.765+01:002016-05-23T22:22:40.765+01:00Just want to say very dissapointed with the course...Just want to say very dissapointed with the course being over the 5 miles as it was advertised as a 5 miler . 5:08 miles on my watch at the finish line and when i spoke to others they had the same distance clocked. The first woman home reported to have 5:10 miles. Nice course with plenty of up and down running but wont go back until the course is checked and verified again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
