mxhornet Apr 2010 11:26pm, 3 Apr 2010 26,370 posts	0 mxhornet Not that I know of, but that's not something I'd normally worry about. About 60 miles I guess similar to Norwich, not that close but in this area nothing is. Gorleston is more like 15 miles away.

Corona Apr 2010 12:07pm, 15 Apr 2010 928 posts	0 Corona Alex, Can't comment about how courses are measured, but I find it rare that my Garmin actually measures any course that I have run at the actual length. It's a Garmin thing more than a short course usually. For info, my garmin measured Swindon at 3.09.
Alex sw harriers Apr 2010 12:18pm, 15 Apr 2010 10 posts	0 Alex sw harriers Oh right well that makes me feel better Ran our local 5 mile course today in preparation for the race and I know for a fact its absalutely spot on distance wise but I found I had to run an extra 250m almost to make up the mileage odd...
