The course that made me become a measurer

The course that inspired me to become a measurer was the S24H ultramarathon, where my passion for running met technical precision — a path that showed me that every centimeter matters when you want a race to be truly fair.

A short timeline of the activities that led me to become a course measurer:

  • 2018 – My first measurement, together with A-Level Measurer Christian Delerue, for the European 24-Hour Running Championship. The course was a 1.2 km loop.

  • 2019 – Measurement of a 2 km loop around the National Arena in Bucharest for the 2020 World 24-Hour Championship. Event canceled due to COVID-19. With A-Level Measurer Christian Delerue.

i’m Eduard

I started measuring courses out of necessity, when, during the S24H ultramarathon, we decided to organize the European 24-Hour Running Championship in Timișoara, in 2018.
Since then, I’ve measured several courses, and together with race organizers, we can offer athletes routes where they can truly test their limits.

I speak Romanian, English, Hungarian, and a bit of German
