State Record Question - Minimum Increase for Distance Records

At one time I had located a document which identified what the minimum
increase needed to be to set a new distance record. Could someone post
back to the group a link?

Thanks,

Gary

The State Recordkeeper Evaluator's Checklist at

http://www.ssa.org/docs/StateRecKeeperEvalChkList.pdf

states the new record must exceed the previous by at least 10km (6.21
statute miles).
