Best Answer

Virtually all athletics tracks are 400 metres long. This is why they have a staggered start in 400m races. An 800 metres race is therefore 2 laps of a 400m track.

The diameter of the inside lane of an athletics track is 400 meters. Of course, lanes further out have a greater diameter. This is why the start of 200 and 400 meter races is staggered.

Official size of a field event in track and field?

Track Size for Outdoor Track The standard running track size for outdoor track is 400 meters. This length is also approximately a quarter of a mile. The track is in an oval shape. Today, tracks have a rubber surface; whereas, older tracks are usually cinder covered. The inner field of the track usually has natural grass or an artificial surface. The inner field can be used for field events. Often, the inner field is also used as a football or soccer field. You can find outdoor tracks all over. From colleges to high schools, to professional sport fields, outdoor tracks can be found. The number of lanes in an outdoor track depends on what level the track is used for. Outdoor tracks at smaller high schools may have six lanes; whereas, tracks used at the Olympics and other high level track events often have nine lanes. Track Size for Indoor Track The standard running track size for indoor track is 200 meters, half the size of an outdoor track. However, although the standard size is 200 meters, some indoor tracks are 150 meters and others are 120 meters. Additionally, some indoor track meets will take place on tracks over 200 meters, however, because the track size is more than 200 meters, no official records can be set on these larger indoor tracks. In indoor track meets, the field events only include high jump, long jump, pole vault, triple jump, and shot put. These events will take place within the circumference of the track. The longest running event that takes place on an indoor track is 5,000 meters. The 3,000 meter race is also commonly run at the collegiate level.
