This is from ARRS and Ken Young. I don't know if the IAAF or some other organization has different criteria.
4.1 Courses. A record quality course is defined as having not more than 1 m/km net drop between the start and finish and not more than 30% of the race distance separation between that start and finish, e.g. not more than a 3 km separation for a 10 km race. Records will only be accepted for record quality courses
Other stuff.
One meter per kilometer? Man that is incredibly strict.
thank thee kindly
