Sad to say, it is very common practice to see mile markers in 5 km and 10 km road races. We here in Grass Valley, CA, used km markers instead for a number of years until we discontinued the race series. I had to agree to continue to use mile markers, but put out old, small ones. No one seemed to notice either way, and there were no complaints. It continues to be a struggle, unfortunately.
