Here in Michigan as other places we have played some with course differentials. Trying to compare all courses to one known course.
It would be incredible if your supporting members had the ability to load in course differentials for use on running hypothetical races.
If you have an hour and a cup of coffee, start more or less about here:

The theory is that you can map athletes on a course, specifically as you get sufficient high quality data and thus using one known course as the base (in our case our state meet course called MIS = Michigan International Speedway) define all other courses as plus or minus so many seconds. Anyway, if we could enter a differential in +/- seconds that would be uber-cool.
