SUMMARY OF MEASUREMENTS

Dates of Measurement : 8th February 2018

How many measurements of the course were made : 1

Names of Measurer : Anirudha Athani

How much of the road width is available to the runners throughout the length of the road race course?

Entire Width of Carriageway is avalable to the runners.

If the route at turns cannot be described as the ‘shortest possible route’, explain what restrictions will apply, and how these would be enforced.

This is the shortest possible route.

Length of the course after any adjustment : 10 km, 21.0975 km & 42.195 km

Difference between longest and shortest measurement : 0 m

Which measurement was used to establish the final course length and why?

The initial measurement was used with adjustment as there was a difference between the Working constant and post-measurement constant.

OVERVIEW OF THE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE :

Provide an overview below of the processes and procedures you have followed when undertaking the measurement.

The course is measured using a calibrated bicycle fitted with a Jones Counter. The basis of the measurement is to compare the number of revolutions of the bicycle wheel (recorded in counts) neded to cover the race course with the number of revolutions needed to cover a standard ‘calibration course’ of known length.

The following steps were followed :

1. Race course was defined after discussions with race director.

2. The calibration course was selected on a straight and flat section of Trimbak road near the start point.

3. The bicycle was calibrated on the calibration course.

4. The route was seen to consist of a closed loop of approx 9.2 km and an out-and back section. Theexact length of the closed loop was measured first.

5. Taking the length of the closed loop as the basis, the length of the out-and-back section was calculated for 10 km, Half-Marathon and Marathon respectively.

6. The out-and-back distance was divided into two and measured on Trimbak road from ABB Signaltowards Trimbakeshwar. Turn-around point was marked. This was done for each of the distance categories, viz. 10km, Half-Marathon and Full Marathon.

7. Post-calibration of the bicycle was done on the calibration course. There was a difference between the working constant and the Finish Constant, so the average of the two constants was taken as the Constant for the day. As the Constant of the day was greater than the Working constant,the adjustment was calculated for 10k, HM & FM turn-around points.

8. The turn around point for 10k, Half-Marathon & Full Marathon was adjusted and marked for 10k, Half-Marathon and Full Marathon.

9. The measurement was documented.

Name of Calibration Course : Trimbak Road, between ABB Circle to Police Training Academy.

City/Town and State : Nashik, Maharashtra, INDIA

Date : 8th February 2017

Start Time : 1200 Finish Time : 1230

Pavement Temperature : Start 28o C Finish 28o C

Measurements and Calculations1. First Measurement :This establishes tentative start and finish marks which should not be changed until the final adjustment on line 6 below

6 x 50m + 0 = 300m# tape distance per partial measured tapelengths tape length tape lengths lengths

2. Second Measurement : This checks the measurement to the finish pont using a 50 cm offset from the start point.

5 x 50m + 49.5 = 249.5m# tape distance per partial measured tapelengths tape length tape lengths lengths

3. Average raw (Uncorrected) measurement of the course = 300m

4. Temperature correction : Use the average pavement temperature during measurement. Work out answer to at least 7 digits beyond the decimal point

Correction factor = 1.0000000+(0.0000116 x [Celsius Temperature – 20])= 1.0000000+(0.0000116 x [28-20])= 1.0000928

5. Multiply the temperature correction factor with the average raw measurement of the course

1.0000928 x 300m = 300.02784mcorrection factor average raw measurement corrected measurement

Final (adjusted) length of the calibration aourse = 300.02784m

Counts/km = Pre measurement average count x 1000/length of calibration course= 3307 x 1000/300.02784= 11022.31

Working Constant = counts per km x 1.001= 11022.31 x 1.001 = 11033.33

B. CALCULATION FOR TURNAROUND POINTS DISTANCE FROM ABB SIGNAL

1. FOR 10 KM RUN:

Race Distance = 10,000 mLoop Length 9177.75 mOut and back distance = 10,000-9177.7 = 822.25 metresTherefore, Distance of 10km Turnaround point from ABB Signal= 822.25 = 411.13 m

2And, Distance of 10k Turnaround point from Start point = 6676.68+411.13 = 7087.81 m

2. FOR HALF-MARATHON: Race Distance = 21,097.5 mLoop Length 9177.75 mOut and back distance = 21097.5 – 9177.75 = 11919.75 metresTherefore, Distance of Half-Marathon Turnaround point from ABB Signal= 11919.75 = 5959.88 m

2And, Distance of Half-Marathon Turnaround pt from Start point = 6676.68+5959.88 = 12636.56 m

3. FOR FULL MARATHON: Race Distance = 41,195 mLoop Length 9177.75 mOut and back distance = 42195 – 9177.75 = 33017.25 metresTherefore, Distance of Full Marathon Turnaround point from ABB Signal= 33017.25 = 16508.63 m

2And, Distance of Marathon Turnaround pt from Start point = 6676.68+16508.63 = 23185.31 m
