I was not aware that this was getting to be such a big issue until I saw the posts during a brief lay-over in my travels today.
I get it. You are skeptical, and that is understandable. I have seen Jill's training stats and gps data, but I do not possess it, and I have not run with her (as if I could keep up anyway), so no, I do not have the proof you are looking for. I will attempt to get your questions answered, though. From the data I saw, I think this is legit, though."
It is a pure marketing ploy. The key sentence below is "What a great way to grow our race!" According to Bob Bodkin, Quakertown Rotarian, co-race director, and a runner, he stated the following on Facebook:
"When I got the call asking if the course was certified and the reason why, I was excited not only for Jill, but for our race. An AR in Qtown! What a great way to grow our race! Now we can do even more great things for the community! I suppose I should have hit the pause button until all details were known".
