Confirmation Criteria

GUIDELINES FOR RACE PROMOTERS / ORGANISERS AND ADVISORY FOR RUNNERSAs pioneers in promoting distance running events in India, Procam International remains committed to safeguarding the integrity, fairness, and credibility of the sport. Events such as the Tata Mumbai Marathon, TCS World 10K Bengaluru, Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon, and Tata Steel World 25K Kolkata have set benchmarks for excellence in race organisation.With the objective of ensuring that qualifying timing certificates submitted for Procam races are authentic, accurate, and achieved under properly regulated race conditions, Procam has defined the following guidelines for race promoters/organisers across India and as an advisory for runners.These guidelines aim to:<ul><li>Prevent fraudulent practices and timing manipulation.</li><li>Protect genuine runners from disappointment due to non-compliant events.</li><li>Standardise race organisation practices across India.</li><li>Support smaller races through structured guidance and transition time</li></ul>Procam International has provided race organisers with a transition period until 31st March 2027 to comply with these technical standards.To ensure consistency for applicants, timing certificates from non-AIMS certified courses will continue to be accepted for any Procam event whose registration cycle officially commences on or before 31st March 2027, even if the registration window extends beyond that date. For example, a timing certificate of a running event without an AIMS-certified course, from September 2026, can be used for the entire registration duration of any Procam event launching in February or March 2027. However, that same timing certificate will be invalid for any Procam race whose registration cycle officially launches after 31st March 2027, e.g. VDHM 2027, TSW25K 2027 and TMM 2028.GUIDELINES FOR RACE PROMOTERS / ORGANISERS AND ADVISORY FOR RUNNERS(For Timing Certificates to be Considered Under Procam Confirmation Criteria – Timed Categories)If any guideline is not followed, or if substantial issues/complaints arise regarding timing accuracy, course distance, operational conduct, technical management, or runner verification, Procam International reserves the right to reject timing certificates from such events.

(<a href="https://aims-worldrunning.org/course-measurement.html">https://aims-worldrunning.org/course-measurement.html</a>)</li></ul>Only courses measured and certified under these standards will be considered valid.3.2 Race Day Course Compliance&nbsp;a) Deviation &amp; Re-Certification Clause&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If any deviation from the originally certified course is identified — whether intentional or accidental — the modified course must be re-measured and re-certified by the accredited course measurer.Failure to obtain such re-certification shall result in:<ul><li>Timing certificates from that edition of the event are not considered for Procam races.</li></ul>b) Short Course Clause and not accepting timing for Procam events&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the course is found to be short for any reason whatsoever — including but not limited to:<ul><li>Incorrect course layout</li><li>Altered turning points</li><li>Barricading errors</li><li>Operational mismanagement</li><li>Measurement discrepancies</li></ul>Then:<ul><li>No timing certificates from that specific race category of that edition of the event will be considered for Procam races.</li><li>Under this also add -Effective 1st April 2027, Procam will maintain and publish specific details of any such identified event editions featuring an AIMS-certified course, along with their affected race categories from which timing certificates will not be accepted for Procam races. &nbsp;</li></ul>Procam International’s determination in such matters shall be final and binding.3.3 Public DisclosureAn AIMS / World Athletics International Course Measurement Certificate must be:<ul><li>Uploaded on the official event website</li><li>Publicly accessible at all times</li></ul>The certificate must include:<ul><li>Race name and distance</li><li>Certificate number</li><li>Name and grade of the accredited measurer</li><li>Measurement date and validity period</li></ul>If the event does not have an official website or digital presence, the course measurement certificate must be emailed to:<a href="mailto:info@procam.in">info@procam.in</a> and&nbsp;<a href="mailto:registration@procam.in">registration@procam.in</a>Failure to provide verifiable course measurement certificate may result in rejection of timing certificates.&nbsp;4.
