So according to the certification form 3M half marathon exceeds the m/km drop "the course must be USATF/IAAF/AIMS certified with an active course certification and have an elevation loss no greater than 3.25 meters/km."
(The certification shows the 3M course is 4.5 m/km drop)
Yet if you look at the list of B standard qualifiers using the 1/2 there is a female runner who has qualified, listing the 3M half marathon as the qualifying race. Am I missing something here?
