Track length

pcchee Member	posted Jan-22-2004 11:04 AM I know the length of the innermost lane of a standard track is 400m. How about those of other lanes? IP: Logged
MightyJoeYoung Member	posted Jan-22-2004 06:04 PM I calculated these from the specifications for an official 400m track. Lane 1 -- 400m Lane 2 -- 407.665m Lane 3 -- 415.330m Lane 4 -- 422.996m Lane 5 -- 430.662m Lane 6 -- 438.327m Lane 7 -- 445.993m Lane 8 -- 453.658m You can sum up all of your laps and convert to miles by dividing the total kilometers by 1.609344. I bet I'm not the only one who likes to know these details down to the nearest millimeter. MJ IP: Logged
pcchee Member	posted Jan-23-2004 09:41 AM Thank you for your precise information. Can you tell me where I can find the specification of a standard track? IP: Logged
MightyJoeYoung Member	posted Jan-24-2004 04:27 PM I think I got it from here. http://www2.iaaf.org/TheSport/Technical/Tracks/TrackMeasurementReport.pdf and the iaaf website has a lot more information with it.
