Officially, they say it's measured along the shortest possible route a runner could take, with a calibrated bicycle and all. But my friend, I tell you, even the certified courses feel a little *chhota*—short. Maybe because on my own dusty road runs, every pebble and turn feels earned, while their smooth city roads just... shrink. I clock faster times on those 'certified' races, and my old father just laughs from his shop, "Arre, their *naapi* is for records, ours is for life.
