I'm surprised that the UK "pro-choice" poster hasn't mentioned this. Doesn't one of his relatives regularly compete in the Flora Marathon? I'll maybe see if I can dig out a picture of competitors passing one of the (metric) timing locations.

The London Flora marathon is also metric and electronically times all the results at the same distances.
You can check the results for the past years here:
Note, not a mile or foot to be found.
The people who survey and verify the route also do it in metric and 42.195 km is the official and legal distance.
