CourseChalk Measures Cross-Country Courses Before the Coaches Do
A browser tool that traces a cross-country course on an aerial map, measures it to the metre, and produces a flyer and meet packets with the maps included.
Field notes
CourseChalk combines map tracing, distance calculation, and race-material generation in a single workflow. Its stated measurement method is the WGS84 ellipsoid, and the page contrasts that with shortcuts that may miss by 10–15 metres over a 5K. The homepage also shows an example distance of 4,860 metres and says resulting flyers and packets include the course maps. The public page describes access as free while the product is new, with no installation or account required.
