Could you build this?
Partial The interactive mapping interface and Strava integration are easily vibe-coded, but discovering, standardizing, and continuously updating an accurate worldwide database of races and GPX tracks is a heavy data challenge.
What it would actually take: The architecture needs a spatial database like PostgreSQL/PostGIS connected to Mapbox or MapLibre GL for rendering layered geo-data. The difficult piece is building and maintaining an army of web scrapers and crawlers targeting regional athletic federations, timing companies, and municipal event permits across dozens of languages to detect registration dates and course modifications. It also requires an automated data pipeline to parse, clean, and validate heterogeneous GPX course files and elevation profiles.
