Pity they did not use any metric for anything else, they have things
like a 2-mile marker, 215 feet, etc.

Perhaps they ran they rounded it to the nearest whole unit that
described the distance between two landmarks? I know here in San
Francisco, we have the Bay-to-Breakers race which is a 12 km
course, rather than the standard 10 km. In usual American style,
the course description is a muddled mess of mixed units.
