Abstract
A method of charting a race course comprises the steps of applying an adhesive fastener (116-118) on the strip (110) for adhesively interconnecting the first (112) and second (114) ends and disposing a column of marker indicia (120) extending along the strip (110) between the ends thereof with each marker indicia (120) signifying a mile marker along a course. The method includes the steps of forming the station indicia (122) to portray the availability of first aid, a toilet, and/or a prominent landmark along the course. A topographical outline (129) is formed to extend along the strip (110) parallel to the column of marker indicia (120) for indicating variances in elevation above sea level along the course. The back of the strip is formed with a legend and advertising indicia.

A method of charting a race course comprising the steps of;
- providing an elongated strip (110) having first (112) and second (114) ends,
- positioning a fastener (116-118) on the strip (110) for interconnecting the first (112) and second (114) ends,
- disposing a column of marker indicia (120) extending along the strip (110) between the ends thereof with each marker indicia (120) signifying a distance along a course,
- the method characterized by aligning station indicia across the strip (110) with at least one of the marker indicia (120) for indicating the location of a support station along the course and disposing a topographical outline (129) extending along the strip (110) parallel to the column of marker indicia (120) for indicating variances in elevation above sea level along the course.
